“The bourgeois treasures nothing more highly than the self.... And so at the cost of intensity he achieves his own preservation and security.

—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)

“He bore her away in his arms,
The handsomest young man there,
And his neck and his breast and his arms
Were drowned in her long dim hair.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“this is the night, and this the happy time
When the tinned milk of human kindness is
Upheld and holed by radio-appeal.”
