What festival? This loud, disordered mooch?
These hospitaliers? These brute-like guests?

A-dub, a-dub, which is made up of this:
That there are no lines to speak? There is no play.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.”
