For each an imagined image brings
And finds a real image there....”

I can and will do more good if I were made a Federal Agent at Large, and I will help best by doing it my way through my communications with people of all ages. First and Foremost I am an entertainer but all I need is the Federal Credentials.”
—Elvis Presley (1935–1977)

Not yet on summer’s death, nor on the birth
Of trembling winter, the fairest flowers o’the season
Are our carnations and streaked gillyvors.”
