    What should we know,
    For better or worse,
    Of the Long Ago,
    Were it not for Verse:
    —Oliver St. John Gogarty (1878–1957)

    So motionless, she seemed stone dead—just seemed:
    She was too old for death, too old for life,
    For as if jealous of all living forms
    She had lain there before bivalves began
    To catacomb their shells on western mountains.
    —Edwin John Pratt (1882–1964)
