    “Take a red book called TELEPHONE,
    size eight by four. There it sits.
    My red book, name, address and number.
    These are all people that I somehow own.
    Yet some of these names are counterfeit.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “As I was going by Charing Cross,
    I saw a black man upon a black horse;
    They told me it was King Charles the First—”
    —Unknown. As I was going by Charing Cross (l. 1–3)

    “There is no human failure greater than to launch a profoundly important endeavour and then leave it half done. This is what the West has done with its colonial system. It shook all the societies in the world loose from their old moorings. But it seems indifferent whether or not they reach safe harbour in the end.”
    —Barbara Ward (1914–1981)
