“I cannot beat off
Invincible modes of the sea, hearing:
Be a man my son by God.
He turned again
To the purring jet yellowing the murder story,
Deaf to the pathos circling in the air.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)

“my brain
Worked with a dim and undetermined sense
Of unknown modes of being; oer my thoughts
There hung a darkness, call it solitude
Or blank desertion.”
—William Wordsworth (17701850)
