"...those few moments, getting rarer all the time by all accounts, when one is first exposed to impossibly high standards, to books that are our judges and not the other way around, that excitement of learning not yet canceled out by careerist fears---that brief time in youth when you read in a pure state, not because you are innocent, but because you are watching yourself get smarter."
Charles Newman
Singing It Now
-
Come on all of you big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in I-ran
So put down your books...
