"Only thirty-eight per cent of Americans say they mostly or completely trust their neighbors, but a 2018 Vermont survey found that seventy-eight per cent of residents think that 'people in my neighborhood trust each other to be good neighbors'..."

"The 'end of a world' never is and never can be anything but the end of an illusion."

Pale Fire.

"the thirst for another order"

amongst massed · medicine ads
half-inch of haggled · hopesicles
dribbled & i drain · a dram of bile
O let them linger · where my looth fails
this disease of zealots · clenched on the clockface whirl
like a sharing of shelter · in eclipse time

"Before the Eclipse a reminder that Director Richard Fleischer delayed production of BARABAS (1961) by weeks so he could film the crucifixion of Christ against a real total solar Eclipse." (I believe that's Barabbas.)
