rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse.

a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.
People want to push the buttons and see me glow.”

“When I go into a museum and see the mummies wrapped in their linen bandages, I see that the lives of men began to need reform as long ago as when they walked the earth.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Every American poet feels that the whole responsibility for contemporary poetry has fallen upon his shoulders, that he is a literary aristocracy of one.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“And, chiding me, said, ‘Hence, remove,
Herrick, thou art too coarse to love.’”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
