“Thus piteously Love closed what he begat:
The union of this ever-diverse pair!

Condemned to do the flitting of the bat.”
—George Meredith (1828–1909)

—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“trying to live in the terrible western world
here where to love at all’s to be a politician, as to love a poem
is pretentious,”
