“He said the dead had souls, but when I asked him
How could that be—I thought the dead were souls,
He broke my trance. Don’t that make you suspicious
That there’s something the dead are keeping back?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“And one rose in a tent of sea and gave
A darkening shudder; water fell away;
The whale stood shining, and then sank in spray.”

“In their eyes I have seen
the pin men of madness in marathon trim
race round the track of the stadium pupil.”
