    “We lay long in the immense tide
    Of shade and shadowy desire
    And saw the dusk assail the wall,
    The black surge, mounting, crash the stone!
    Companion of this lust, we fall,
    I said lest we should die alone.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Of Progress round and round in circles
    From King to Mob to King to Mob to King
    Until the eddy of it eddies out.””
