    Two heavy trestles, and a board
    Where Sato’s gift, a changeless sword,
    By pen and paper lies,
    That it may moralise
    My days out of their aimlessness.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Truly men hate the truth; they’d liefer
    Meet a tiger on the road.
    Therefore the poets honey their truth with lying; but religion-
    Vendors and political men
    Pour from the barrel, new lies on the old,
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    The television critic, whatever his pretensions, does not labour in the same vineyard as those he criticizes; his grapes are all sour.
    Frederic Raphael (b. 1931)
