“And you could have a new automobile
Ping pong set and garage, but the thief
Stole everything like a miracle.
In his book there was a picture of treason only
And in the garden, cries and colors.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
