    “Kind Sir: Lost and of your same kind
    I have turned around twice with my eyes sealed
    and the wood were white and my night mind
    saw such strange happenings, untold and unreal.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
    —George Steiner (b. 1929)
