“The poem of the mind in the act of finding
What will suffice. It has not always had
To find: the scene was set; it repeated what
Was in the script.
Then the theatre was changed
To something else. Its past was a souvenir.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“A diplomat these days is nothing but a head-waiter who’s allowed to sit down occasionally.”
—Peter Ustinov (b. 1921)
