    “O how terrible it must be for a young man—
    seated before a family and the family thinking
    We never saw him before! He wants our Mary Lou!
    After tea and homemade cookies they ask What do you do for a living”
    —Gregory Corso (b. 1930)

    Fine flowers in the valley,
    And twinned the sweet babe o’ its life,
    And the green leaves they grow rarely.”
