"Well I guess, some of us write and some of us pitch but so far there isn't any law a man has to go see The Cocktail Party by T.S. Eliot from St. Louis where Yogi Berra comes from 'Royalist, Anglo-Catholic and conservative.' A damned good poet and a fair critic; but he can kiss my ass as a man and he never hit a ball out of the infield in his life and he would not have existed except for dear old Ezra, the lovely poet and stupid traitor."
-Ernest Hemingway, letter to Harvey Breit, La Finca Vigia, 9 July 1950
