| Introduction | I am, by turns J. Alfred Prufrock: "I grow old, I grow old . . ." and Tennyson's Ulysses: "strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yeild." The crest of my hill being so far above me, I would hope that the free-fall would ease up. Alas, the abyss gapes every wider, and I can no longer avert my eyes. Still, since I would like to fancy myself in such a way, I'll quote Polonius: "Brevity is the soul of wit." Shut up, Wayne. |
