Allen Ginsberg

Democracy! Bah! When I hear that I reach for my feather boa!

Many seek and never see, anyone can tell them why. O they weep and O they cry and never take until they try unless they try it in their sleep and never some until they die. I ask many, they ask me. This is a great mystery.
Allen Ginsberg
