And tripped the body, shot the spirit on
Further than target ever showed or shone.”

With burring furred antennae feeling its huge path
Through dusk, the air liner with shut-off engines
Glides over suburbs”

Neither could I do without them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Typography is not only a technology but is in itself a natural resource or staple, like cotton or timber or radio; and, like any staple, it shapes not only private sense ratios but also patterns of communal interdependence.”
