Wrenched out of context, a splendid quotation from Miss Candida Firebrace *:
“And to behold Minneapolis is one of my dreams. I hunger and thirst for it above all else save righteousness.”
* A character in A Number Of Things by Honor Tracy. See here.
“Do you know what Minneapolis lacks? Heads on pikes”–From the desk of Esther Wilberforce-Packard, typing from Minneapolis, MN.
