    “with the plane nowhere and her body taking by the throat

    —James Dickey (b. 1923)

    “Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,
    So do our minutes hasten to their end;
    Each changing place with that which goes before,
    In sequent toil all forwards do contend.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Teenagers who are never required to vacuum are living in one.”
