    “The guided missiles,
    The black-and-white angels follow each quirk and jink of

    —Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)

    “All the heavy days are over;
    Leave the body’s coloured pride
    Underneath the grass and clover,
    With the feet laid side by side.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
