“This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Charles Foster Kane: You always said you wanted to live in a palace.
Susan Alexander: Oh, a person could go crazy in this dump. Nobody to talk to, nobody to have any fun with.
Charles Foster Kane: Susan.
Susan Alexander: Forty-nine thousand acres of nothing but scenery and statues. I’m lonely.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1985)
“Blackberries
Big as the ball of my thumb, and dumb as eyes
Ebon in the hedges, fat
With blue-red juices. These they squander on my fingers.
I had not asked for such a blood sisterhood; they must love me.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
