And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

Untouched by Morning
And untouched by Noon—
Sleep the meek members of the Resurrection—”
