    “How people used to meet!
    starved, intense, the old

    and the old plain words,”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “If ever I should condescend to prose,
    I’ll write poetical commandments, which
    Shall supersede beyond all doubt all those
    That went before; in these I shall enrich
    My text with many things that no one knows,
    And carry precept to the highest pitch:
    I’ll call the work ‘Longinus o’er a Bottle,
    Or, Every Poet his own Aristotle.’”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Here files of pins extend their shining rows,
    Puffs, powders, patches, bibles, billet-doux.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
