“I gave him the lead gift in the twilight. What fell was relaxed,
Owl-downy, soft feminine feathers; but what
Soared: the fierce rush: the night-herons by the flooded river cried
fear at its rising
Before it was quite unsheathed from reality.”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

“Children and savages use only nouns or names of things, which they convert into verbs, and apply to analogous mental acts.”
