Underneath the grass and clover,
With the feet laid side by side.”

“February is a suitable month for dying. Everything around is dead, the trees black and frozen so that the appearance of green shoots two months hence seems preposterous, the ground hard and cold, the snow dirty, the winter hateful, hanging on too long.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Two months dead, I wrestle with your name
Whose separate letters make a paltry sum
That is not you.”
