“The label of liberalism is hardly a sentence to public igominy: otherwise Bruce Springsteen would still be rehabilitating used Cadillacs in Asbury Park and Jane Fonda, for all we know, would be just another overweight housewife.”

The field has droned the summer’s final mass;
A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”
