Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)

“Spine hog,
how do you grow?
Little steel wings
that stick into me.
Knitting needles
that stick into me.”
