Snyder Tornado

Famous quotes containing the words snyder and/or tornado:

    But it’s hard to farm
    Between the stumps:
    The cows get thin, the milk tastes funny,
    The kids grow up and go to college
    They don’t come back
    the little fir-trees do
    —Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    The sumptuous age of stars and images is reduced to a few artificial tornado effects, pathetic fake buildings, and childish tricks which the crowd pretends to be taken in by to avoid feeling too disappointed. Ghost towns, ghost people. The whole place has the same air of obsolescence about it as Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
