It's all sorts of middle-aged white men in suits--forests of middle-aged men in dark suits. All slightly red-faced from eating and... drinking too much.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

In warm evenings I frequently sat in the boat playing the flute, and saw the perch, which I seem to have charmed, hovering around ...me, and the moon travelling over the ribbed bottom, which was strewed with the wrecks of the forest. Formerly I had come to this pond adventurously, from time to time, in dark summer nights, with a companion, and, making a fire close to the water's edge, which we thought attracted the fishes, we caught pouts with a bunch of worms strung on a thread, and when we had done, far in the night, threw the burning brands high into the air like skyrockets, which, coming down into the pond, were quenched with a loud hissing, and we were suddenly groping in total darkness. Through this, whistling a tune, we took our way to the haunts of men again. But now I had made my home by the shore.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
At last the gathered show lets down as white As may be in dark woods, and with a song... It shall not make again all winter long Of hissing on the yet uncovered ground,LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Navajo infants get so attached to cradleboard that they cry to be tied into it. Kikuyu infants in Kenya get handed around several ..."mothers," all wives to one man. . . . Mothers in rural Guatemala keep their infants quiet, in dark huts. Middle-class American mothers talk a blue streak at them. Israeli kibbutz mothers give them over to a communal caretaker . . . Japanese mothers sleep with them. . . . All these tactics are compatible with normal health--physical and mental--and development in infancy. So one lesson for parents so far seems to be: Let a hundred flowers bloom.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
A good way to think about television--in fact all the media--is as a kind of telescope in the sky, flying around, constantly looki...ng. Then from its perch in the sky, it zooms down to a single spot on the planet, a small group of people shooting each other. It takes this single event out of billions and billions of other little events and sends it zooming through space to television antennas, and then out through an electron gun into (on the average) 30 million people sitting at home in dark rooms with their eyes still. The event gets reconstructed in the brains of these people as an image. Recorded. All these 30 million people have recorded the same image from this single distant spot where they are not. This becomes their experience of that moment.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
All the strong agonized men Wear the hard clothes of war,... Try to remember what they are fighting for. But in dark weeping helpless moments of peace Women and poets believe and resist forever.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The sun, that brave man, Comes through boughs that lie in wait,... That brave man. Green and gloomy eyes In dark forms of the grass Run away.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
