Oldtime hunters say that fleas are a hound’s salvation: his constant twisting and clawing in pursuit of the tormentors keeps his joints supple.”
—Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Shelley is truth itself—and honour itself—notwithstanding his out-of-the-way notions about religion.”
