“Sports and gallantries, the stage, the arts, the antics of dancers,
The exuberant voices of music,
Have charm for children but lack nobility; it is bitter earnestness
That makes beauty; the mind
Knows, grown adult.”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

—Karen Logan (b. 1949)

That swarm around the sleeper’s head
But are fended off with clubs and knives ...”
