    Whose icy current and compulsive course
    Ne’er knows retiring ebb, but keeps due on
    To the Propontic and the Hellespont,
    Even so my bloody thoughts with violent pace
    Shall ne’er look back, ne’er ebb to humble love,
    Till that a capable and wide revenge
    Swallow them up.”

    And silvers and greens spread over the sea. The moon
    Is at the mast-head and the past is dead.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
