    “Sun and moon and day and night and man and beast
    each with a splendor
    which man in all his vileness cannot
    set aside; each with an excellence!”
    —Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    “Tattoo-shops, consulates, grim head-scarfed wives;
    And out beyond its mortgaged half-built edges
    Fast-shadowed wheat-fields, running high as hedges,
    Isolate villages, where removed lives
    Loneliness clarifies. Here silence stands
    Like heat. Here leaves unnoticed thicken,
    Hidden weeds flower....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
