    “We lay long in the immense tide
    Of shade and shadowy desire
    And saw the dusk assail the wall,

    Companion of this lust, we fall,
    I said lest we should die alone.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    and I will be soft wood and you the nail
    and we will make fiery ovens for Jack Sprat
    and you will hurl yourself into my tiny jail
    and we will take a supper together and that
    will be that.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
