“Nor is there singing school but studying
Monuments of its own magnificence;
And therefore I have sailed the seas and come
To the holy city of Byzantium.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Out where the handclasp’s a little stronger,
Out where the smile dwells a little longer,
That’s where the West begins.”

“The house one story high in front, three stories
On the end it presented to the road.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

They never cared for school anyway.
And they have left us with the things pinned on the bulletin board.
And the night, the endless, muggy night that is invading our school.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
