Places are fragmentary and inward-turning histories, pasts that others are not allowed to read, accumulated times that can be unfolded but like stories held in reserve, remaining in an enigmatic state, symbolizations encysted in the pain or pleasure of he body.

But during the administration of the present President we have had neither agreement nor a clear-cut battle. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt
