“re-enact at the vestry-glass
Each pulpit gesture in deft dumb-show
That had moved the congregation so.”

They stalk, children of the nouveaux riches; chimes
Of the tall Clock Tower drench their heads in blessing:

I don’t like you any more.”
My house stands opposite, on the other hill,”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
