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 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)

    A little black thing among the snow
    Crying “’weep, ‘weep,” in notes of woe!
    “Where are thy father & mother? say?”
    “They are both gone up to the church to pray.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    Ceremony and ritual spring from our heart of hearts: those who govern us know it well, for they would sooner deny us bread than dare alter the observance of tradition.
    F. Gonzalez-Crussi, Mexican professor of pathology, author. “On Embalming,” Notes of an Anatomist (1985)
