    “As long as lightly all their livelong sessions,
    Like a yardful of schoolboys out at recess
    Before their plays and games were organized,
    They yelling mix tag, hide-and-seek, hopscotch,
    And leapfrog in each other’s way all’s well.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Time grows dim. Time that was so long
    grows short, time, all goggle-eyed,
    wiggling her skirts, singing her torch song,
    giving the boys a buzz and a ride,
    that Nazi Mama with her beer and sauerkraut.
    Time, old gal of mine, will soon dim out.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
