    The catastrophe
    Buried in the stair carpet stayed there
    And never corrupted anybody.
    And one day he grew up, and the horizon
    Stammered politely. The sky was like muslin.
    And still in the old house no one ever answered the bell.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    It is as absurd to argue men, as to torture them, into believing.
    —Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801–1890)

    It burns the thing
    inside it. And that thing
    screams.
    Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)
