    “no little brass rollers
    and small easy wheels on the bottom—

    with gilt wheels and no top at all.”

    repeating The Black Mass and all of it.
    I say Live, Live because of the sun,
    the dream, the excitable gift.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Uncle Ben’s brass bullet-mould
    And powder horn, and Major Bogan’s face
    Above the fire, in the half-light, plainly said
    There’s naught to kill but the animated dead;”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
