    “man will be blotted out, the blithe earth die, the brave sun
    Die blind and blacken to the heart:
    Yet stones have stood for a thousand years, and pained thoughts
    found
    The honey of peace in old poems.”
    —Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    “A blind man. I can stare at him
    ashamed, shameless. Or does he know it?
    No, he is in a great solitude.
    O, strange joy,
    to gaze my fill at a stranger’s face.
    No, my thirst is greater than before.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
