Scavenger, 1946-47

" The "Scavenger" is again like many of these contemporary allusions, a kind of shiftless migration of forces and at the same time ruthless on their way from one place to another. I think it in many ways embodies the restlessness that accompanies many of our contemporary migrations. It also has the parasitic characteristics that area common to the migratory personality, or you might even say the aggressive migratory nation."  [Theodore Roszak Interview with Elliott, 1956, p.14]
