    “Even when seen from near, the olive shows
    A hue of far away. Perhaps for this
    The dove brought olive back, a tree which grows
    Unearthly pale, which ever dims and dries,
    And whose great thirst, exceeding all excess,
    Teaches the South it is not paradise.”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    “Simone Clouseau: Jacques would make a wonderful father. He has many redeeming qualities, you know.

    —Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
