...perpetrator is give him a humiliating dose of castor oil. The strangest and most wonderful things happen in the city of Amarcord, but they are all good things: A great ocean liner sails by the coast at night, lit up like it was sailing out of an electric forest; the whole population of the town piles into its boats and waits for the ship to pass, falling asleep for hours. Nature is strange but always benevolent, from the "puffballs" that, blown about everywhere, announce the end of winter, to the summer rain that comes down for just half a moment...

He spent ten years selling glass medical gadgetry for a New Jersey firm; characteristically, he did it so well that he ended up as an executive vice president. But like Wallace Stevens at that Hartford insurance company, Ammons wrote poetry in his spare time, published some of it and waited.
