“The people of this country are too tolerant. There’s no other country in the world where they’d allow it... After all we built up this country and then we allow a lot of foreigners, the scum of Europe, the offscourings of Polish ghettos to come and run it for us.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Once out of nature I shall never take
My bodily form from any natural thing,
But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
