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
