“These were not men, they were battlefields. And over them, like the sky, arched their sense of harmony, their sense of beauty and rest against which their misery and their struggles were an offence, to which their misery and their struggles were the only approaches they could make, of which their misery and their struggles were an integral part.”

“Fowls in the frith,
Fishes in the flood,
And I must wax wod:
Much sorrow I walk with
For best of bone and blood.”

“What a cheerful rhyme! Clean not mean!
Been not seen! Not tired—expired!

We decide that place is the big weeping face
And the other abstract lace of the race.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
