“I was asking for something specific and perfect for my city,
Whereupon lo! upsprang the aboriginal name.
Now I see what there is in a name, a word, liquid, sane, unruly,
musical, self-sufficient,
I see that the word of my city is that word from of old,
Because I see that word nested in nests of water-bays, superb,
Rich, hemm’d thick all around with sailships and steamships, an
island sixteen miles long, solid-founded,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“Kicking the heart
with pain’s big boots running up and down
the intestines like a motorcycle racer.”

“The grand style is available now only in old poems, museums, and parodies.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
