    “We’re headed for collapse, if you want my opinion, Missy. I can see it in the fallin’ off of the quality of vagrants. There was a time you could find real good company in almost any jungle you’d pick, men who could talk, men who’d read a book now and then; and now, what do you find, a lot of dirty little guttersnipes no decent tramp would want to associate with.
    Well, it’s been that way all through history.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    And all the neat curtains are drawn with care,
    The little black cat with bright green eyes
    Is suddenly purring there.”
