“And the serial continues:
Pain, expiation, delight, more pain,
A frieze that lengthens continually, in the lucky way
Friezes do, and no plot is produced,
Nothing you could hang an identifying question on.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Roll on, thou deep and dark blue Ocean,roll!
Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain;
Man marks the earth with ruin,his control
Stops with the shore;”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (17881824)
“No Time, spoke the clocks, no God, rang the bells,
I drew the white sheet over the islands
And the coins on my eyelids sang like shells.”
