Summary
The moment Mr. Keating tells them about the Dead Poets' Society, something hard knots low in Todd's stomach. He's never been good with clubs or societies, with things that require you to formally spend time with others. Sucking the marrow out of life sounds like the sort of thing they've been doing already, even if Mr. Keating is probably referring to something more dramatic (better) than what they've been doing in class. But words dripped from our tongues like honey sounds kind of intimidating, and Gods were created sounds like the kind of thing Todd ought to just avoid entirely.

Summary
Piers didn’t bring it up again and Dudley pretended like he’d forgotten about his friend’s weird fairy tale. They were way too old for dumb stories like that anyway. Stories for babies.
But somewhere deep inside, where Dudley had a tiny spark of the magic that ran in his family tucked in the bottom of his soul, the words that Piers had told him about settled down and waited to be remembered at the right time.
I wish the goblins would come and take you away, right now.

Summary
“…The modern viewer must remember that prior to the 1960s, soulmark portraits were the ultimate in taboo. But one can see how an artist like Captain Rogers would feel compelled to pick up his sketchbook…
...Captain Rogers never did a self-portrait; we can only speculate who his soulmate — or soulmates — might have been."
Franklin, Hannah. “Howling Commandos Leave their Mark in Portrait Series by Captain America.” Newsweek, July 9, 2009.
