    “Thou art a beaten dog beneath the hail,
    A swollen magpie in a fitful sun,
    Half black half white
    Nor knowst’ou wing from tail
    Pull down thy vanity
    How mean thy hates”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “Welcome, all wonders in one night!
    Eternity shut in a span,
    Summer in winter, day in night,
    Heaven in earth, and God in man.
    Great Little One! Whose all-embracing birth
    Lifts earth to heaven, stoops heaven to earth.”
    —Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)
