    The man who fears war and squats opposing
    My words for stour, hath no blood of crimson
    But is fit only to rot in womanish peace
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    Not yesterday I learned to know
    The love of bare November days
    Before the coming of the snow....

    Especially when the October wind
    With frosty fingers punishes my hair,
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Tired,
    she looked up the path
    her lover would take
    as far as her eyes could see.
    On the roads,
    traffic ceased
    at the end of day
    as night slid over the sky.
    The traveller’s pained wife
    took a single step towards home,
    said, “Could he not have come at this instant?”
    and quickly craning her neck around,
    looked up the path again.
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    I close my eyes and suck you in like a fire.
    I grow. I grow. I’m fattening out.
    I’m a kid in a rowboat and you’re the sea,
    the salt, you’re every fish of importance.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Years in wingspans go
    Across and over our heads. Watch them:
    They are flying east. They are flying to the ebb
    Of dark.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
