I dread the rustling of the grass;
The very shadows of the clouds
Have power to shake me as they pass:”

“Mind not the old man beseeching the young man;
Let not the child’s voice be heard, nor the mother’s entreaties;
Make even the trestles to shake the dead, where they lie awaiting
the hearses,
So strong you thump, O terrible drums—so loud you bugles blow.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

As ‘twere a knell unto our master’s fortunes,
We have seen better days.”
