    “I can’t make head or tail of Life. Love is a fine thing, Art is a fine thing, Nature is a fine thing; but the average human mind and spirit are confusing beyond measure. Sometimes I think that all our learning is the little learning of the maxim. To laugh at a Roman awe-stricken in a sacred grove is to laugh at something today.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    And dainty is his repast;
    But remember that luxury’s prodigal hand
    Keeps the furnace of toil in blast.”
