    “Thee for my recitative,
    Thee in the driving storm even as now, the snow, the winter-day

    Thee in thy panoply, thy measur’d dual throbbing and thy beat
    convulsive,
    Thy black cylindric body, golden brass and silvery steel,”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “your bones,
    round rulers, round nudgers, round poles,
    numb nubkins, the sword of sugar.
    I feel the skull, Mr. Skeleton, living its
    own life in its own skin.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The use of arms is ownership
    Of the appropriate gun. It is ownership that brings
    Victory that is not hinted at in “Das Kapital.”
    I think there is never but one true war
    So let us as you desire perfect our trade.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
