“A moment that gave not only itself, but
Also the means of keeping it, of not turning to dust
Or gestures somewhere up ahead
But of becoming complicated like the torrent
In new dark passages, tears and laughter which
Are a sign of life, of distant life in this case.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“The whole book by noble gestures and inclinations renders many words unnecessary.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
