"I like Man not Men." The American experience takes philosohpical form here. "I detest Congress, but like my Congressperson." On it goes. A very good mind, good writing, timeless ideas.

This is that "the house is burning down, what one book do you save?" book for me. I don't think I need to say much more than that.

Amazingly prescient about who the great writers of his era were. Recognized superior talent from a single poem.
