Broom Gallery

	"The artist, gracefully gesticulating about himself, on his divan, is hideous, but if he danced on a boulder and waved a lilac bough in one hand and a "Broom" in the other, one could respect him." Maxwell Bodenheim, *The Dial*
"Broom is published in Rome, 3266 miles from New York, 4269 miles from Chicago and 6227 miles from San Francisco" The Broom, Feb. 1922
	"The New Broom" When you are sweeping us With your cosmic broom Sweeping us out of moldy ruts Sweeping us clean and sweet- Remember When we're quiverinng - Sensitive - bare - We shall be grateful For just a few shadows... David O'Neil, The Broom, Nov 1921
Broomides. ...In any event, Broom is less interested in what a man has done than in what he is attempting. Broom, Nov. 1921
	"What of it, if some old hunks of a sea-captain orders me to get a Broom and sweep down the decks? What does that indignity amount to, weighed, I mean, in the scales of the New Testament? Do you think the archengel, Gabriel, thinks anything the less of me, because I promptly and respectfully obey that old hunks in that particular instance? Who aint a slave?" Mobby Dick, The Broom, Nov. 1921
