    “The silence is death.
    It comes each day with its shock
    to sit on my shoulder, a white bird,
    and peck at the black eyes
    and the vibrating red muscle
    of my mouth.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The hunchback on the corner, with gum and shoelaces,
    Has his own wisdom and pleasures,”

    “Ye say they all have passed away,
    That noble race and brave;
    That their light canoes have vanished
    From off the crested wave;
    That, mid the forests where they roamed,
    There rings no hunters’ shout;
    But their name is on your waters,
    Ye may not wash it out.”
    —Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791–1865)
