Now, from the Gates of Hercules we flood
Westward, westward till the barbarous brine
Whelms us to the tired world where tasseling corn,
Fat beans, grapes sweeter than muscadine
Rot on the vine: in the land were we born.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)

Contracts and concentrates, withdraws;
Rachel née Rabinovitch
Tears at the grapes with murderous paws.”
