    “Samuel Sewall, in a world of wigs,
    Flouted opinion in his personal hair;
    For foppery he gave not any figs,
    But in his right and honor took the air.”
    —Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)

    “War talk by men who have been in a war is always interesting; whereas moon talk by a poet who has not been in the moon is likely to be dull.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
