With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part.”

—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“The boredom of Sunday afternoon, which drove de Quincey to drink laudanum, also gave birth to surrealism: hours propitious for making bombs.”

Death and life is their daily work.
Death seams up and down the leaf.
I call the leaves my death girls.”
