...which he belongs to other ages than his own, without ignoring the crises of the present. In a rare political poem he read at Harvard, Wilbur spoke of President Johnson's less than gracious response to a portrait he commissioned; "Wait, sir, and see how time will render you,/ Who talk of vision but have no sight." "The Marginal Way," a poem about the dying capacity for celebration, confessed "the time's fright within me," alluding to Auschwitz, and knew some newspaper on a porch would "flap the tidings of some dirty...
About the nature of the problem the two writers would have had, I think, little quarrel. But about the solution their views are crucially divergent. In Kafka there was simply none available, for the very qualities which render the dreaded state intolerable--its impressive size, structural inefficiency, and grotesque involution--also render it effectively invulnerable.

The cop tells the father that Paul was one of the assailants, but pop is indignant, defending his son to the death. My son was chasing after them, he says, trying to protect my money. No, the cop says, your son is a crook. Pop immediately changes his mind and turns on his son and tries to kill him. In other words, Pop goes from love to hate in thirty seconds.
