    “I know not how,

    The time of life—arming myself with patience
    To stay the providence of some high powers
    That govern us below.”

    But you have speed far greater.”

    “Old man, it’s four flights up and for what?
    Your room is hardly any bigger than your bed.
    Puffing as you climb, you are a brown woodcut
    stooped over the thin rail and the wornout tread.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
