    “No one would know except for ancient maps
    That such a brook ran water. But I wonder
    If from its being kept forever under,
    The thoughts may not have risen that so keep
    This new-built city from both work and sleep.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “And God stepped out on space,
    And He looked around and said,
    “I’m lonely—
    I’ll make me a world.””
    —James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)
