“To drift with every passion till my soul
Is a stringed lute on which all winds can play,
Is it for this that I have given away
Mine ancient wisdom, and austere control?
Methinks my life is a twice-written scroll
Scrawled over on some boyish holiday”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“iris and lilac, birds
birds, yellow flowers
white flowers, the Diesel
does not let up dragging
the plow”
—Charles Olson (1910–1970)
