    “Below me trees unnumbered rise,
    Beautiful in various dyes:
    The gloomy pine, the poplar blue,
    The yellow beech, the sable yew,
    The slender fir that taper grows,
    The sturdy oak with broad-spread boughs.”
    —John Dyer (1699–1758)

    “... transform
    into our flesh our
    deaths, crossing the street, plum, quince,
    living in the orchard and being
    hungry, and plucking
    the fruit.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Through funeral parlors and honky-tonks.
    From river to river you comb the town
    For a place to lay your family down.”
