though not so wholly but throughout the night
she woke sometimes to feel the daylight coming
like a relentless milkman up the stairs.”

“I candidly confess that I have ever looked on Cuba as the most interesting addition which could ever be made to our system of States.

—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
