    “no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
    or thought:
    no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
    terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
    of escape open: no route shut,”
    —Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)

    “Aristotle and Plato are reckoned the respective heads of two schools. A wise man will see that Aristotle platonizes.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “—Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
    Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
    The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
    At the North Pole. . .
    And now what? Why, go back.

    Turn as I please, my step is to the south.”
    —Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
