After the Vietnam War, a lot of us didn't just crawl back into our literary cubicles; we stepped into academic positions. With the war over, our visibility was lost, and it seemed for a while--to the unobservant--that we had disappeared. Now we have tenure, and the work of reshaping the universities has begun in earnest.

--Jay Parini, The Chronicle of Higher Education

 
   There is a tide in the affairs of men, 
   Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; 
   Omitted, all the voyage of their life 
   Is bound in shallows and in miseries. 
   On such a full sea are we now afloat, 
   And we must take the current when it serves, 
   Or lose our ventures.
