"...the spring of the Army-McCarthy hearings... John [Berryman], as an
addicted reader of The New York Times, once began a class by holding up the
front page so the class might see the latest revelation in the ongoing
drama. 'These fools will rule for a while and be replaced by other fools and
crooks. This,' and he opened a volume of Keats to the 'Ode to a
Nightingale', 'will be with us for as long as our language endures.'"
--Philip Levine, in The Bread of Time (1994)
