nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior.

"Thanks for sending me the epigrams.* Superb. It's about time for
something of the sort, I'd say, what with the ass licking that rules the
day. Especially the ass-licking that some ass-lickers want to pass off
as "avant-garde confrontation." My salute... And as to your question,
well, yeah, absolutely: Olson, if he'd lived to see what has happened,
would have loved these."
--Ed Dorn
* from a response by Dorn to a batch of the first epigrams, sent to him
in early 1999.
