The U.S. Poet Laureate - Notes

Notes

  • This is the final episode featuring Emily Procter in the recurring role as Deputy White House Counsel Ainsley Hayes. Though her departure was never explained in this episode, Hayes briefly returned in a season 7 episode Requiem in which she revealed her whereabouts.
  • The website that alternately praises and vilifies Josh, lemonlyman.com, is based on Television Without Pity and the experiences Aaron Sorkin had while posting online about his show.
  • C.J. Cregg mentions during a press conference that Jed Bartlet was a tenured professor at Dartmouth University. This is in fact a mistake, as the university's official name is Dartmouth College and not Dartmouth University despite the fact that it is a de facto research university.

Famous quotes containing the word notes:

    My notes have a curious tendency, as I realize at last, to annihilate all they purport to record.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you—like music to the musician or Marxism to the Communist—or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    My weary limbs are scarcely stretched for repose, before red dawn peeps into my chamber window, and the birds in the whispering leaves over the roof, apprise me by their sweetest notes that another day of toil awaits me. I arise, the harness is hastily adjusted and once more I step upon the tread-mill.
    —“E. B.,” U.S. farmer. As quoted in Feminine Ingenuity, by Anne L. MacDonald (1992)
