    “Eye, gazelle, delicate wanderer,
    Drinker of horizon’s fluid line;

    The spirit drinking timelessness;
    Touch, love, all senses;”
    —Stephen Spender (1909–1995)

    “And yet these Rarities might be allow’d,
    To Man, that sov’raign thing and proud;
    Had he not dealt between the Bark and Tree,
    Forbidden mixtures there to see.
    No Plant now knew the Stock from which it came;
    He grafts upon the Wild the Tame:”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    “As part of nature he is part of us.
    His rarities are ours: may they be fit
    And reconcile us to our selves in those
    True reconcilings, dark, pacific words,
    And the adroiter harmonies of their fall.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
