    “Under bare Ben Bulben’s head
    In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.
    An ancestor was rector there
    Long years ago, a church stands near,
    By the road an ancient cross.
    No marble, no conventional phrase;
    On limestone quarried near the spot
    By his command these words are cut:
    Cast a cold eye
    On life, on death.
    Horseman pass by!”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “I can only wait for the final amnesia, the one that can erase an entire life.”
    —Luis Buñuel (1900–1983)

    “There’s always a period of curious fear between the first sweet-smelling breeze and the time when the rain comes cracking down.”
    —Don Delillo (b. 1926)
