    And cowering foes shall shrink beneath
    Each gallant arm that strikes below
    That lovely messenger of death.
    —Joseph Rodman Drake (1795–1820)

    Arrive in the afternoon, the late light slanting
    In diluted gold bars across the boulevard brag
    Of proud, seamed faces with mercy and murder hinting
    here, there, interrupting, all deep and debonair,
    The pink paint on the innocence of fear;
    Walk in a gingerly manner up the hall.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
