—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Time, to make me grieve,
Part steals, lets part abide;
And shakes this fragile frame at eve
With throbbings of noontide.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“A general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him.”

The clear anatomy arrive,”

—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
