As follows, The Ruler of Reality,
If more unreal than New Haven, is not
A real ruler, but rules what is unreal.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“People stress the violence. Thats the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it theres a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. Theres a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, theres a satisfaction to the game that cant be duplicated. Theres a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
