“The last faint spark
In the self-murdered heart, the wounds of the sad uncomprehending
dark,
The wounds of the baited bear,
The blind and weeping bear whom the keepers beat
On his helpless flesh . . . the tears of the hunted hare.”
—Dame Edith Sitwell (18871964)
“Or driven wild
by snakes that kept the carrots clean,
she butchered snakes and carrots with a hoe.”
—Richard Hugo (19231982)
