“Sinclair Lewis is the perfect example of the false sense of time of the newspaper world.... [ellipsis in source] He was always dominated by an artificial time when he wrote Main Street....

—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

to me unless I go
to it; a grape tendril
ties a knot in knots till

knotted thirty times,—”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
