    “At the age of twelve I was finding the world too small: it appeared to me like a dull, trim back garden, in which only trivial games could be played.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “This is the end, the redemption from Wilderness, way for the
    Wonderer, House sought for All, black handkerchief washed clean by
    weeping—page beyond Psalm—Last change of mine and Naomi—to Gods perfect Darkness—Death, stay thy phantoms!”
    —Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    “There’s something wonderfully exciting about the quiet sing song of an aeroplane overhead with all the guns in creation lighting out at it, and searchlights feeling their way across the sky like antennae, and the earth shaking snort of the bombs and the whimper of shrapnel pieces when they come down to patter on the roof.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
