Like Walt Whitman walking along a ruddy shore.
He is singing and chanting the things that are part of him,

His beard is of fire and his staff is a leaping flame.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“Being a gentleman is the number one priority, the chief question integral to our national life.”
—Edward Fox (b. 1934)
“Methinks it would be some advantage to philosophy if men were named merely in the gross, as they are known. It would be necessary only to know the genus and perhaps the race or variety, to know the individual.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
