“The sun may set and rise:
But we contrariwise
Sleep after our short light
One everlasting night.”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)
“He crafted his writing and loved listening to those tiny explosions when the active brutality of verbs in revolution raced into sweet established nouns to send marching across the page a newly commissioned army of words-on-maneuvers, all decorated in loops, frets, and arrowlike flourishes.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
