    They string together with a living thread.”

    Throwing arm gone bad. There’s your old ball game.
    Cool reek of the field. Reek of companions.”
    —Robert Fitzgerald (1910–1985)

    “but when lust
    By unchaste looks, loose gestures, and foul talk,
    But most by lewd and lavish act of sin,
    Lets in defilement to the inward parts,
    The soul grows clotted by contagion,
    Imbodies, and imbrutes, till she quite loose
    The divine property of her first being.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
