“To-night the winds begin to rise
And roar from yonder dropping day:
The last red leaf is whirld away,
The rooks are blown about the skies;
The forest crackd, the waters curld,
The cattle huddled on the lea;”
—Alfred Tennyson (18091892)
“Father, Im thirty-six,
yet I lie here in your crib.
Im getting born againdam,
as you prod me with your rib.”
