    “When Mr. Apollinax visited the United States
    His laughter tinkled among the teacups.

    And of Priapus in the shrubbery
    Gaping at the lady in the swing.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    —Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)

    “A little group of willful men, representing no opinion but their own, have rendered the great government of the United States helpless and contemptible.”
