    “The cot we shared is almost a prison
    where I can’t say buttercup, bobolink,

    valentine, summergirl, funnygirl and all
    those nonsense things one says in bed.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “This is the poem of the air,
    Slowly in silent syllables recorded;
    This is the secret of despair,
    Long in its cloudy bosom hoarded,
    Now whispered and revealed
    To wood and field.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
