“Time grows dim. Time that was so long
grows short, time, all goggle-eyed,
wiggling her skirts, singing her torch song,
giving the boys a buzz and a ride,
that Nazi Mama with her beer and sauerkraut.
Time, old gal of mine, will soon dim out.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Frankly, I do not like the idea of conversations to define the term “unconditional surrender.” ...

—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
