    “The outline of the city became frantic in its effort to explain something that defied meaning. Power seemed to have outgrown its servitude and to have asserted its freedom. The cylinder had exploded, and thrown great masses of stone and steam against the sky.”

    “I tied down time with a rope
    but it came back.
    Then
    I put my head in a death bowl
    and my eyes shut up like clams.
    They didn’t come back.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Now as at all times I can see in the mind’s eye,
    In their stiff, painted clothes, the pale unsatisfied ones
    Appear and disappear in the blue depth of the sky”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
