    “It’s impossible for someone who is human to have all good things together, just as there is no single country able to provide all good things for itself.”
    —Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)

    “By the roadside a hideous carrion, quivering
    On a clean bed of pebbly clay,
    Her legs flexed in the air like a courtesan,
    Burning and sweating venomously,
    Calmly exposed its belly, ironic and wan,
    Clamorous with foul ecstasy.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Then must you speak
    Of one the lov’d not wisely but too well;
    Of one not easily jealous, but, being wrought,
    Perplex’d in the extreme; of one whose hand,
    Like the base Indian, threw a pearl away
    Richer than all his tribe;”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
