    “O bid me mount and sail up there
    Amid the cloudy wrack,
    For Peg and Meg and Paris’ love

    Are gone away, and some that stay
    Have changed their silk for sack.”

    and that every so often the world is bound to shake.
    He runs, he runs to the south, finical, awkward,
    in a state of controlled panic, a student of Blake.”
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
