    “I know not how,

    To stay the providence of some high powers
    That govern us below.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The starting point of the human and the end,
    That in which space itself is contained, the gate
    To the enclosure, day, the things illumined
    By day, night and that which night illumines,
    Night and its midnight-minting fragrances,
    Night’s hymn of the rock, as in a vivid sleep.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
