"It turns out that my preferred way to read poetry is to read one poem for two to three weeks at a time and I felt bad holding up a library copy for so long. But the poems I read were phenomenal and I plan on picking up a copy whenever I buy books next." — Jun 07, 2025 03:23PM

"It's all right, though," Augustus said. "It's mostly bones we're riding over anyway. Why, think of all the buffalo that have died on these plains. Buffalo and other critters too. And the Indians have been here forever; their bones are down there in the earth. I'm told that over in the Old Country you can't dig six feet without uncovering skulls and leg bones and such.

And, unless I become reborn, it will never return. This is the destiny of the universe. So at least I won’t be alone.”

“The time, then, had come for him to poison himself so that an economic monopoly could be kept alive, a sprawling, interplan empire from which he now derived nothing.”
