“The scholar is not apt to make his most familiar experience come gracefully to the aid of his expression.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Fat black bucks in a wine-barrel room,
Barrel-house kings, with feet unstable,
Sagged and reeled and pounded on the table,
Pounded on the table,
Beat an empty barrel with the handle of a broom,
Hard as they were able,”
—Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)
