“How do you think it makes me feel, why do you think we don't go to parties anymore, because I have too much to drink? Yes why because all of you, you and his friends and these editors asking about his next great book shaking their heads admiring how hard he works to support us, me and David but what a tragedy for American literature how do you think that makes me feel? The great Thomas Eigen's talent being thrown away in a stupid job because he has to make a decent living for his wife and son he resents every bill he pays, the rent, nursery school, he even resents that, paying David nursery school and food, three lam chops Jack, three lamb chops! A decent living standing in that kitchen looking down at that man with no hands and, no face, just a burn scar with holes in it” (id, 270).

“Brecht held that an actor should play his role from a distance, almost tongue-in-cheek, as though commenting on the part rather than losing himself in it. He felt that even the backstage activity should be made obvious to the audience. The point of theater, to Brecht, wasn't for the spectators to lose themselves in the play, but to consider the issues raised, reflect on the interactions of the characters, think about different possibilities and outcomes” (Dirda, 2008: 37)

“The function of this school is custodial. It's here to keep these kids off the streets until the girls are big enough to get pregnant and the boys are old enough to go out and holdup a gas station, it's strictly custodial and the rest is plumbing. If these teachers of yours strike just sit and still and keep the door opens open, by the time these kids have been lying around the house for a week their parents will march the teachers back at gunpoint” (id, 226).

“Picasso
you gave us Things
which
bulge:grunting lungs pumped full of sharp thick mind
you make us shrill
presents always
shut in the sumptuous screech of
simplicity
(out of the
black unbunged
Something gushes vaguely a squeak of planes
or
between squeals of
Nothing grabbed with circular shrieking tightness
solid screams whisper.)
Lumberman of The Distinct
your brain's
axe only chops hugest inherent
Trees of Ego,from whose living and biggest
bodies lopped
of every prettiness
you hew form only” (id, 35)

“of my
soul a street is:
prettinesses Pic-
abian tricktrickclickflick-er
garnished
of stark Picasso
throttling trees
hither
my soul
repairs herself with
prisms of sharp mind
and Matisse rhythms
to juggle Kandinsky gold-fish
away from the gripping gigantic
muscles of Cézanne's
logic,
oho
a street
there is
where strange birds purr” (Cummings, 1994: 34)
