    “The present is an age of talkers, and not of doers; and the reason is, that the world is growing old. We are so far advanced in the Arts and Sciences, that we live in retrospect, and dote on past achievement.”
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    “Eliot dead, you saying,
    “And who is left to understand my jokes?
    My old Brother in the arts . . . and besides, he was a smash of
    poet.””
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
