    “The trouble with Freud is that he never played the Glasgow Empire Saturday night.”

    “Arrive in the afternoon, the late light slanting
    In diluted gold bars across the boulevard brag
    Of proud, seamed faces with mercy and murder hinting
    here, there, interrupting, all deep and debonair,
    The pink paint on the innocence of fear;
    Walk in a gingerly manner up the hall.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
