    Time kills me terribly.
    “Time shall not murder you,” He said,
    “Nor the green nought be hurt;
    Who could hack out your unsucked heart,
    O green and unborn and undead?”
    I saw time murder me.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Main Street was never the same. I read Gide and tried to
    translate Proust. Now nothing is real except French wine.
    For absurdity is reality, my loneliness unreal, my mind tired.
    And I shall die an old Parisian.
    —Conrad Kent Rivers (1933–1968)
