    Neurons flash images of a world
    Undead and deathless, burgeoning again.
    I think that Spring will come this way, unfurled.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Ask me no more where Jove bestows,
    When June is past, the fading rose;
    For in your beauty’s orient deep
    These flowers, as in their causes, sleep.

    Ask me no more whither do stray
    The golden atoms of the day;
    For in pure love heaven did prepare
    Those powders to enrich your hair.”
    —Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
