"Tremor of Intent"

Anthony Burgess's Tremor of Intent (1966), his satire of espionage novels, bears a double epigraph. The first is from W. H. Auden:

<<
But between the day and night
The choice is free to all, and light
Falls equally on black and white.
>>

The second is from T. S. Eliot:

<<
The worst that can be said of most of our malefactors, from statesmen to thieves, is that they are not men enough to be damned. >>
