    “Constantly risking absurdity
    and death
    whenever he performs
    above the heads
    of his audience
    the poet like an acrobat
    climbs on rime
    to a high wire of his own making.”
    —Lawrence Ferlinghetti (b. 1919)

    “Parched body, hollow eyes, some uncouth thing
    Made him appear, long since from earth exiled.”
    —William Drummond, of Hawthornden (1585–1649)
