    “What joy when the insouciant
    armadillo glances at us and doesn’t
    quicken his trotting
    across the track into the palm brush.
    What is this joy? That no animal
    falters, but knows what it must do?”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.”
