    let geese

    From dusty bondage into luminous air.

    Power is not of a man. Wealth does not center in the person of the wealthy. Celebrity is not inherent in any personality. To be celebrated, to be wealthy, to have power requires access to major institutions.
    —C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)

    And mother almost always sighs,
    When father carves the duck.
    Then all of us prepare to rise,
    And hold our bibs before our eyes,
    And be prepared for some surprise,
    When father carves the duck.
    —Ernest Vincent Wright Wotton (1872–1939)
