Hannah Hunter: Medicine is the most noble and unselfish—
Col. John Marlowe: Sure, noble profession, noble oath, lanterns held on high—so high they won’t admit they’re gropin’ for.... There was a girl, not much older than that boy in there. I wasn’t unfair then, understand. Because they used a lot of fancy words that an ordinary section hand wouldn’t understand. So I held her down, while two of them worked on her. I trusted doctors then, believed in ‘em, because I was in love, and I didn’t want to see her die. A tumor they said it was, and it had to come out right away. So they stuck a leather strap in her mouth so she could bite off her screams, while they cut a way to get in there. And what did they find—nothing! Oh, they were sorry. Sure. They made a mistake. They had something they could talk about before their next little experiment. But what about me. They left me beggin’ her not to die. And I lost my wife.
—John Lee Mahin (1902–1984)

By metaphor you paint
A thing. Thus, the pineapple was a leather fruit,
A fruit for pewter, thorned and palmed and blue,
To be served by men of ice.
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

What shall he have that killed the deer?
His leather skin and horns to wear.
Then sing him home.
Take thou no scorn to wear the horn,
It was a crest ere thou wast born;
Thy father’s father wore it,
And thy father bore it.
The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
