    the rich seem suddenly poor.
    —Miriam Therese Winter (20th century)

    The winter is made and you have to bear it,
    The winter web, the winter woven, wind and wind,
    For all the thoughts of summer that go with it
    In the mind, pupa of straw, moppet of rags....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
