Medium Bombers

Famous quotes containing the words medium and/or bombers:

    “The truth is that literature, particularly fiction, is not the pure medium we sometimes assume it to be. Response to it is affected by things other than its own intrinsic quality; by a curiosity or lack of it about the people it deals with, their outlook, their way of life.”
    —Vance Palmer (1885–1959)

    “In bombers named for girls, we burned
    The cities we had learned about in school—
    Till our lives wore out; our bodies lay among
    The people we had killed and never seen.”
    —Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
