    “An aspiring genius was D. Green:
    The son of a farmer, age fourteen;
    His body was long and lank and lean—
    Just right for flying, as will be seen;”

    “Remember? We sat on a slab of rock.
    From this distance in time,
    it seems the color
    of iris, rotting and turning purpler,

    but it was only
    the usual gray rock”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
