“The soul of me is very selfish. I have gone my way after a fashion that made me the center of the plan.

Nothing but love cold have accomplished so wonderful a thing.”

“Loosed betwixt eye and lid, the swimming beams
Of memory, blind school of cuttlefish,
Rise to the air, plunge to the cold streams....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
