“This place is the Devil, or at least his principal residence, they call it the University, but any other appellation would have suited it much better, for study is the last pursuit of the society; the Master eats, drinks, and sleeps, the Fellows drink, dispute and pun, the employments of the undergraduates you will probably conjecture without my description.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Earth and I gave you turquoise
when you walked singing
We lived laughing in my house
and told old stories”
—N. Scott Momaday (b. 1934)
