    Whenever there’s a big war coming on, you should rope off a big field. And on the big day, you should take all the kings and their cabinets and their generals, put ‘em in the center dressed in their underpants and let them fight it out with clubs. The best country wins.
    —Maxwell Anderson (1888–1959)

    The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.
