   Quote of the Week: "The ant's a centaur in his dragon world. Pull down    
   thy vanity, it is not man... Made courage, or made order, or made    
   grace,... Pull down thy vanity, I say pull down. Learn of the green    
   world what can be thy place... In scaled invention or true artistry,...    
   Pull down thy vanity,... Paquin pull down! The green casque has outdone    
   your elegance." --Ezra Pound's poem
