timeless and still.
The days and nights turn hours to years
and water in a gutter marks the circle of another world
hating, resentful, and afraid
stagnant, and green, and full of slimy things.”

“The great social adventure of America is no longer the conquest of the wilderness but the absorption of fifty different peoples.”
