Step right up, but be prepared. Those who fail are poverty-snared. Question One! If your labor proves most fruitful, Raking quarters by the bootful, Who should excess profits reap, Me the wolf or you the sheep? Question Two! If, by merit, you're made pope, What will be your fervent hope? Law and order justly paired? Or mercy and the guilty spared?

C.R.W. Nevinson, New York by Night, ca. 1922. Oil on canvas.

Nevinson was a British artist who visited New York after World War I. His boasting and exaggerated claims of war experiences, together with his depressive and temperamental personality, made him many enemies in both the U.S. and Britain. In 1920, the critic Charles Lewis Hind wrote of Nevinson: "It is something, at the age of thirty-one, to be among the most discussed, most successful, most promising, most admired, and most hated British artists."

Terry Pratchett, in a letter to J. R. R. Tolkien, 22 November 1967

Thank you very much for your letter. The first one that I have received with regard to Smith of Wootton Major. You evidently feel about the story very much as I do myself. I can hardly say more.
