“But can see better there, and laughing there
Pity the giants wallowing on the plain.
...
Pygmies expand in cold impossible air,
Cry fie on the giantshine, poor glory which
Pounds breast-bone punily, screeches, and has
Reached no Alps: or, knows no Alps to reach.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“As if that hand
squeezing crow’s blood
against a white sky
beside an idiot’s laughing face
were real.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
