    “Night hath closed all in her cloak,
    Twinkling stars love-thoughts provoke,
    Danger hence good care doth keep,
    Jealousy itself doth sleep;”
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    “Hardly a book of human worth, be it heaven’s own secret, is honestly placed before the reader; it is either shunned, given a Periclean funeral oration in a hundred and fifty words, or interred in the potter’s field of the newspapers’ back pages.”
    —Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
