Lighted cliffs, against dawns
Of days people will die on.”

“It had been cold since December. Snow fell, first,
At New Year and, from then until April, lay
On everything. Now it had melted, leaving
The gray grass like a pallet, closely pressed;
And dirt. The wind blew in the empty place.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey-cage.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
