“Glorious the northern lights astream;
Glorious the song, when Gods the theme
Glorious the thunders roar:
Glorious hosanna from the den;
Glorious the catholic amen;
Glorious the martyrs gore:
Gloriousmore glorious is the crown
Of him that brought salvation down
By meekness, called thy Son;
Thou that stupendous truth believed,
And now the matchless deeds achieved,
Determined, Dared, and Done.”

“Im a very smart guy. I havent a feeling or a scruple in the world. All I have the itch for is money. I am so money greedy that for twenty-five bucks a day and expenses, mostly gasoline and whisky, I do my thinking myself, what there is of it; I risk my whole future, the hatred of the cops ... I dodge bullets and eat saps, and say thank you very much, if you have any more trouble, I hope youll think of me, Ill just leave one of my cards in case anything comes up.”
—Raymond Chandler (18881959)
