    —Don Delillo (b. 1926)

    “Come away, away children;
    Come children, come down!
    The hoarse wind blows coldly;
    Lights shine in the town.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    “There was such speed in her little body,
    And such lightness in her footfall,
    It is no wonder her brown study
    Astonishes us all.”
