The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”

An’ a’ its folk are lang syne deid,

“We stand in the tumult of a festival.
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)
