    “At twelve I was determined to shoot only

    As often as one gets the rare chance—
    In killing there is more than commentary.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Often in winter the end of the day is like the final metaphor in a poem celebrating death: there is no way out.”

    A shadow fleeting; she is never plain.
    She is a visitor who leaves behind
    The gift of grief, the souvenir of pain.”
