    “It was hard for an American to understand the contented acceptance by English men and women of permanent places in the lowest social rank.”

    “Does the road wind uphill all the way?
    Yes, to the very end.
    Will the day’s journey take the whole long day?
    From morn to night, my friend.

    But is there for the night a resting-place?
    A roof for when the slow, dark hours begin,”
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    “What joy when the insouciant
    armadillo glances at us and doesn’t
    quicken his trotting
    across the track into the palm brush.
    What is this joy? That no animal
    falters, but knows what it must do?”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
