    “Courage!” he said, and pointed toward the land,

    In the afternoon they came unto a land
    In which it seemed always afternoon.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    For a hundred and fifty years, in the pasture of dead horses,
    roots of pine trees pushed through the pale curves of your ribs,
    yellow blossoms flourished above you in autumn, and in winter
    frost heaved your bones in the ground—old toilers, soil makers:
    O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost.
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)
