“Go to the adolescent who are smothered in family—
Oh how hideous it is
To see three generations of one house gathered together!
It is like an old tree with shoots,
And with some branches rotted and falling.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“A war undertaken without sufficient monies has but a wisp of force. Coins are the very sinews of battles.”
