    “This is being young,
    Assumption of the startled century
    Like new store clothes....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “How the cold creeps as the fire dies at length
    How drifts are piled,
    Dooryard and road ungraded,
    Till even the comforting barn grows far away,
    And my heart owns a doubt
    Whether ‘tis in us to arise with day
    And save ourselves unaided.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
