“You think I’ll weep:
No, I’ll not weep.

Shall break into a hundred thousand flaws
Or ere I’ll weep.”

My house was on a cliff. The thing could take
Bookloads off shelves, break bottles in a row.
Then the long pause and then the bigger shake.
It seemed the best thing to be up and go.”
—William Empson (1906–1984)
