    “The reason is:
    rats leave the sinking ship
    but we . . .
    we . . .
    didn’t leave,
    so the ship
    didn’t sink,
    and that’s madness,
    Lear’s song
    that’s Touchstone’s forest jest,
    that’s swan of Avon logic.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “Remember dancing in
    those electric shoes?
    Remember?
    Remember music
    and beware.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Not peace, but other things.
    Beyond the light stand failure and remorse....”
