    In that land all Is and nothing’s Ought;
    No owners or notices, only birds;
    —William Robert Rodgers (1909–1969)

    The winds awaken, the leaves whirl round,
    Our cheeks are pale, our hair is unbound,
    Our breasts are heaving, our eyes are agleam,
    Our arms are waving, our lips are apart....
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
