    “On the kitchen wall a flash
    of shadow:
    swift pilgrimage
    of pigeons, a spiral
    celebration of air, of sky-deserts.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “I am glad I made the late race. It gave me a hearing on the great and durable question of the age, which I could have had in no other way; and though I now sink out of view, and shall be forgotten, I believe I have made some marks which will tell for the cause of civil liberty long after I am gone.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
