...critics generally on his side. He has a talent for finding high inspiration in avant-garde literature (Allen Ginsberg's Howl inspired his recent Antifone per Orchestra) and for attracting notable collaborators. W. H. Auden and Chester Kallman (the librettists of Stravinsky's Rake's Progress) wrote the libretto for his Elegy for Young Lovers, and the collaboration remains among his happiest experiences.

One could say the same of the American Revolution as well, but since contemporary liberalism seems no longer fond of citing the American Revolution as a precedent of something good, proper, and progressive...
