I am almost sure it's in a poem by Wallace Stevens, but can't
recall the
title or find it in his collected poetry. It's also possible
that By the
way, _The Wench is Dead_ is a famous Fredric Brown title. Could
Dexter
be paying homage to Brown by using the same title? If not, it's
in poor
taste - sort of like using _The Long Goodbye_ as a title for
a
contemporary novel.
