    “On my face extended flat
    I was walloped with a cat
    For listening at the key-hole of the door.”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    “The speaker in this case
    is a middle-aged witch, me
    tangled on my two great arms,
    my face in a book
    and my mouth wide,
    ready to tell you a story or two.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “We live in a time which has created the art of the absurd. It is our art. It contains happenings, Pop art, camp, a theater of the absurd.... Do we have the art because the absurd is the patina of waste...? Or are we face to face with a desperate or most rational effort from the deepest resources of the unconscious of us all to rescue civilization from the pit and plague of its bedding?”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
