    “The consolations of space are nameless things.
    It was after the neurosis of winter. It was
    In the genius of summer that they blew up
    The statue of Jove among the boomy clouds.
    It took all day to quieten the sky
    And then to refill its emptiness again....”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “When and under what conditions is the black man to have a free ballot? When is he in fact to have those full civil rights which have so long been his in law?”
    —Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
