“the eave-drops fall
Heard only in the trances of the blast,
Or if the secret ministry of frost
Shall hang them up in silent icicles,
Quietly shining to the quiet Moon.”

“The progress
Is permanent like the preordained bulk
Of the First National Bank
Like fish sauce, but agreeable.”

“John B. Watson, the most influential child-rearing expert [of the 1920s], warned that doting mothers could retard the development of children,...
