    Determined to place the letter
    On the unassassinated president’s desk
    So that a stamp could reproduce all this
    In detail ...
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    It burns the thing
    inside it. And that thing
    screams.
    Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)

    I have often told you that I am that little fish who swims about under a shark and, I believe, lives indelicately on its offal. Anyway, that is the way I am. Life moves over me in a vast black shadow and I swallow whatever it drops with relish, having learned in a very hard school that one cannot be both a parasite and enjoy self-nourishment without moving in worlds too fantastic for even my disordered imagination to people with meaning.
    Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)

    No medicine in the world can do thee good;
    In thee there is not half an hour’s life.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
