Neat idea. I used to use Vachel Lindsey to illustrate the merit of Red Wing
work boots over bare feet and Abraham Lincoln quoted Artemus Ward. At least
Poe lends us a context within which people can say, "Oh, yeah, I heard of

hearsay? And for this we get employed preserving other people's culture?
