    “We may prepare food for our children, chauffeur them around, take them to the movies, buy them toys and ice cream, but nothing registers as deeply as a simple squeeze, cuddle, or pat on the back.

    In this America, this wilderness
    Where the axe echoes with a lonely sound,
    The generations labor to possess
    And grave by grave we civilize the ground.”
    —Louis Simpson (b. 1923)

    Upon the memorable Scene:
    But with his keener Eye
    The Axes edge did try:”
