    This fawning greyhound then did proffer me!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “... to a poet, the human community is like the community of birds to a bird, singing to each other. Love is one of the reasons we are singing to one another, love of language itself, love of sound, love of singing itself, and love of the other birds.”
    —Sharon Olds (b. 1942)

    “What is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature?”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)

    “And each of the huge white creatures was huger than fourscore men;
    The tops of their ears were feathered, their hands were the claws of birds,
    And, shaking the plumes of the grasses and the leaves of the mural glen,
    The breathing came from those bodies, long warless, grown whiter than curds.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Resorts advertised for waitresses, specifying that they “must appear in short clothes or no engagement.” Below a Gospel Guide column headed, “Where our Local Divines Will Hang Out Tomorrow,” was an account of spirited gun play at the Bon Ton. In Jeff Winney’s California Concert Hall, patrons “bucked the tiger” under the watchful eye of Kitty Crawhurst, popular “lady” gambler.”
    —Administration in the State of Colo, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
