    “Sophocles long ago
    Heard it on the Aegaean, and it brought
    Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow
    Of human misery; we
    Find also in the sound a thought,
    Hearing it by this distant northern sea.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    “Even in the pink crib
    the somehow deficient,
    the somehow maimed,
    are thought to have
    a special pipeline to the mystical....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The mountains look on Marathon—
    And Marathon looks on the sea;
    And musing there an hour alone,
    I dreamed that Greece might still be free;
    For standing on the Persians’ grave,
    I could not deem myself a slave.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “I am dead against art’s being self-expression. I see an inherent failure in any story which fails to detach itself from the author—detach itself in the sense that a well-blown soap-bubble detaches itself from the bowl of the blower’s pipe and spherically takes off into the air as a new, whole, pure, iridescent world. Whereas the ill-blown bubble, as children know, timidly adheres to the bowl’s lip, then either bursts or sinks flatly back again.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “Today, the notion of progress in a single line without goal or limit seems perhaps the most parochial notion of a very parochial century.”
    —Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
