    “The designers [of the 1930s] were populists, you see; they were trying to give the public what it wanted. What the public wanted was the future.”
    —William Gibson (b. 1948)

    “a flying open of doors, convergence
    of magic objects into
    feathered hands and crested heads, a prospect
    of winter verve, a buildup to abundance.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
