“Mothers of America
let your kids go to the movies!
get them out of the house so they won’t know what you’re up to
it’s true that fresh air is good for the body
but what about the soul
that grows in darkness, embossed by silvery images”
—Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)
“Our venture in revolution and outlawry
Has justified itself in freedom’s story
Right down to now in glory upon glory.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
