They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

-FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

In the mellowness of morning light,
Tinged with secrets that descend
With night's soft flight....
Revealing themselves with charm
And careless flattery of day....
I wrap my arms around my Self,
Joining in the capricious fray....
M. Daniel Smith
