“To read between the lines was easier than to follow the text.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“As a particularly dramatic gesture, he throws wide his arms and whacks the side of the barn with the heavy cane he uses to stab at contesting bidders.

—Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
