    “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)

    I used to be.
    There’s a shadow hanging over me . . .
    From me to you out of my electric devil....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Oh! for a closer walk with God,
    A calm and heav’nly frame;

    That leads me to the Lamb!”
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)
