    turned down, by which

    a key is lying—And the
    immaculate white bed”
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    “The awaited scream rises,
    the shattering
    of glass and the cracking
    of bone
    a polar tumult as when
    black ice booms....”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “Vast chain of Being, which from God began,
    Natures aethereal, human, angel, man,
    Beast, bird, fish, insect! what no eye can see,
    No glass can reach; from Infinite to thee,
    From thee to Nothing!—”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
