“... gathering news in Russia was like mining coal with a hatpin.”

“I swear to keep the dead upon my mind,/Disdain for all time to be overglad./Among spring flowers, under summer trees./By chilling autumn waters, in the frosts/Of supercilious winter—all my days/I’ll have as mentors those reproving ghosts.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
