Cummings, whose verse has been appearing off and on for three years now, and whose experiments should not be more appalling to those interested in poetry than the experiment of surrounding ice-cream with a layer of chocolate was to those interested in soda fountains, has hardly made a dent in the doughy minds of our so-called poetry lovers.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    Thus every Part was full of Vice,
    Yet the whole Mass a Paradise...
    The worst of all the Multitude
    Did something for the Common Good.
    ... ...Luxury
    Employ’d a Million of the Poor,
    And odious Pride a Million more...
    ... ...the very Poor
    Liv’d better than the Rich before...
    Bernard De Mandeville (1670–1733)

    Johnny Clay: You like money. You got a great big dollar sign there where most women have a heart. So play it smart. Stay in character and you’ll have money. Plenty of it. George’ll have it and he’ll blow it on you. Probably buy himself a five-cent cigar.
    Sherry Peatty: You don’t know me very well, Johnny. I wouldn’t think of letting George throw his money away on cigars.
