“There is spiritual laughter
Too hushed to be gay, too high: the happiness
Of angels.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“At twelve, the disintegration of afternoon
Began, the return to phantomerei, if not
To phantoms. Till then, it had been the other way:
One imagined the violet trees but the trees stood green,
At twelve, as green as ever they would be.
The sky was blue beyond the vaultiest phrase.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
