    Here a pretty Baby lies

    Th’ easie earth that covers her.

    Boys finding for the first time their loins filled with heart’s

    Widowed farmers whose hands float under light covers to find
    themselves
    Arisen at sunrise
    James Dickey (b. 1923)

    In truth, politeness is artificial good humor, it covers the natural want of it, and ends by rendering habitual a substitute nearly equivalent to the real virtue.
