A calling for colour calls with the wind
That’s grave and gay as grave and sea
Sleeping on either hand.”

“I am less disposed to think of a West Point education as requisite for this business than I was at first. Good sense and energy are the qualities required.”

“I have often told you that I am that little fish who swims about under a shark and, I believe, lives indelicately on its offal. Anyway, that is the way I am. Life moves over me in a vast black shadow and I swallow whatever it drops with relish, having learned in a very hard school that one cannot be both a parasite and enjoy self-nourishment without moving in worlds too fantastic for even my disordered imagination to people with meaning.”
—Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)
