    “If the Party could thrust its hand into the past and say of this or that event, it never happened—that, surely, was more terrifying than mere torture and death. ... “Who controls the past,” ran the Party slogan,”controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.””
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “At middle night great cats with silver claws,
    Bodies of shadow and blind eyes like pearls,
    Came up out of the hole, and red-eared hounds
    With long white bodies came out of the air
    Suddenly, and ran at them and harried them.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    But when I stopped and turned to see,
    The tree was bending to the side
    And leaning out to look at me.”
    —Elizabeth Madox Roberts (1880–1941)
