Quaker Run

    “this old Quaker graveyard where the bones
    Cry out in the long night for the hurt beast
    Bobbing by Ahab’s whaleboats in the East.”

    “I, Alphonso, live and learn,
    Seeing Nature go astern.
    Things deteriorate in kind;
    Lemons run to leaves and rind;
    Meagre crop of figs and limes;
    Shorter days and harder times.
    Flowering April cools and dies
    In the insufficient skies.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
