‘Eddie, my friends ask me: Eddie, Eddie, are you kidding? I wanna tell you something, my
friends: I am not kidding. Here at Zachary All we have sixty tailors in the back room. We
have the west's largest selections of portly's, regulars, longs, extra longs, and cadets. And
my friends say to me: Eddie, Eddie, what do you think of the new double knits? (Eddie,
what do you think of the new double knits?) And I tell them: I'll tell you something frankly,
my friends, when the new double knits first came out, I was not impressed. But as you can
see these pants I'm wearing are double knit. They stretch in all the right places. They're
most comfortable. Our model Twiggy here will demonstrate. I have this lovely little
seersucker… wait a minute.’

‘Saturday Night, April 14, 1805 – In looking at objects of Nature, while I am thinking, as at
yonder moon dim-glimmering thro’ the dewy window-pane, I seem rather to be
seeking, as it were asking, a symbolic language for something within me that already and
forever exists, than observing anything new. Even when that latter is the case, yet still, I
have always an obscure feeling as if that new phænomenon were the dim Awaking of a
forgotten or hidden Truth of my inner Nature/It is still interesting as a Word, a Symbol! It
is Λογος, the Creator! ’
