“the trouble lies in pointing
At any stars. For one’s own finger aims
Always elsewhere: the man beside one seems
Never to get the point. “No! The bright star
Just above my fingertip.””
—John Hollander (b. 1929)

Copper sun or scarlet sea,
Jungle star or jungle track,
Strong bronzed men, or regal black
Women from whose loins I sprang
When the birds of Eden sang?”
