“And, so, the poet who sees deepest
Is rooted out quickest—before he can
Infect the masses with his utopian visions,
Slay their despair, ease their burdens,
Restore their hopes, unleash their dreams.”
― Lorca's Grave

“Smoking factories are the only real life here.
Living human corpses form their precious fuel—
fools ruled by more greedy, more ruthless fools.”
