    “Come, dear children, let us away;
    Down and away below!
    Now my brothers call from the bay,
    Now the great winds shoreward blow,
    Now the salt tides seaward flow;
    Now the wild white horses play,
    Champ and chafe and toss in the spray.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    Of my childhood in an agate eye
    Roving, under the clean sheets,
    Over a black hole in the sky.”
