    “All night in the unmade park
    After the railings and shrubberies
    The birds the grass the trees the lake
    And the wild boys innocent as strawberries
    Had followed the hunchback
    To his kennel in the dark.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    —M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)

    “Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.”
    —Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947)
