Do words outcarry breath the sound goes on and on.
I hear a dead man’s cry from autumn long since gone.

I cry to you beyond upon his bitter air.”
—Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)

“I have never, in all my various travels, seen but two sorts of people ... I mean men and women, who always have been, and ever will be, the same. The same vices and the same follies have been the fruit of all ages, though sometimes under different names.”
