“Soun is noght but air ybroken,
And every speche that is spoken,
Loud or privee, foul or fair,
In his substaunce is but air;
For as flaumbe is but lighted smoke,
Right so soun is air ybroke.”

—Carson McCullers (1917–1967)
“I guard this box, as I would the instrumental parts of my religion, to help my mind on to something better.”
