    “I ask a wreathwhich will not crush my head.

    regardless of quality.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    For standing still means death, and life is moving on,
    Moving on towards death. But sometimes standing still is also life.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “When we stand the truth on its head we generally fail to notice that our head is not standing where it should be standing either.”
