    “Back now to autumn, leaving the ended husk
    Of summer that brought them here for Show Saturday
    The men with hunters, dog-breeding wool-defined women,
    Children all saddle-swank, mugfaced middleaged wives
    Glaring at jellies, husbands on leave from the garden
    Watchful as weasels, car-tuning curt-haired sons
    Back now, all of them, to their local lives....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “It is as if being was to be observed,
    As if, among the possible purposes
    Of what one sees, the purpose that comes first,
    The surface, is the purpose to be seen,
    The property of the moon, what it evokes.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “I come into the peace of wild things
    who do not tax their lives with forethought
    of grief.”
    —Wendell Berry (b. 1934)
