“Now they express
All thats content to wear a worn-out coat,
All actions done in patient hopelessness,
All that ignores the silences of death,
Thinking no further than the hand can hold,
All that grows old,
Yet works on uselessly with shortened breath.”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
“Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet and blossom in their dust.”
—James Shirley (15961666)
