    The Service without Hope
    Is tenderest, I think—
    ...
    There is no Diligence like that
    That knows not an Until—
    Emily Dickinson (1831–1886)

    Rou-cou spoke the dove,
    Like the sooth lord of sorrow,
    Of sooth love and sorrow,
    And a hail-bow, hail-bow,
    To this morrow.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    One day He
    tipped His top hat
    and walked
    out of the room,
    ending the argument.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
