Abstract
The island of Utopia contains in breadth in the middle part of it (for there it is broadest) two hundred miles. Which breadth continues through the most part of the land, save that little by little it comes in and waxes narrow towards both ends, which forming a circuit or compass of five hundred miles fashions the whole island like to the new moon.
—Sir Thomas More, The Utopia
The America of my twenty-year-old father / was beautiful, far away. / It managed to break his heart. / America here, America there, / where is it now, / my father’s America? // America will be my land / with its giant sun and moon, / soft air, blue sky, / a night of feasting / for workman and peasant. …
—Rocco Scotellaro, “There was America”
In other words if everybody even if there had not been a great many but just only as many as there have been if anybody that is everybody had not died there would not be room here and now for anybody who is here here and now.
Even in America where there is more space where there is nobody than where there is. Never forget that.
These are ordinary ideas.
—Gertrude Stein, The Geographical History of America
