“I don’t know but a book in a man’s brain is better off than a book bound in calf—at any rate it is safer from criticism. And taking a book off the brain, is akin to the ticklish & dangerous business of taking an old painting off a panel—you have to scrape off the whole brain in order to get at it with due safety—& even then, the painting may not be worth the trouble.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Frankie and Johnny were lovers, O lordy how they could love,
Swore to be true to each other, true as the stars above;
He was her man but he done her wrong.”
—Unknown. Frankie and Johnny (l. 1–3)
