And providing us with further and perhaps quite different meanings of lovable and loving and being loved.”

“They sang, but had not human tunes nor words,
Though all was done in common as before;
They had changed their throats and had the throats of birds.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Massa’s in de cold, cold ground.”
—Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1864)
