“...I remember the etymology of the word Oz, at least a proposed at a lecture by our Head, Madame Morrible. She said that academics were inclined to locate the root of the term in Gillikinese cognate oos, which carries freights of meaning about growth, development, power, generation. Even ooze, with its distant companion noun virus, is thought to belong to the same general family. The older I get, the more accurate this derivation seems to be."
"And yet the poet of the Oziad calls it "Land of green abandon, land in endless leaf.'"
"Poets are just as responsible for empire building as any other professional hacks.”
