cuts another leaf on the grass,
shadow seeks shadow,
then both leaf
and leaf-shadow are lost.”

The field has droned the summers final mass;
A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”

“Of course we women gossip on occasion. But our appetite for it is not as avid as a mans. It is in the boys gyms, the college fraternity houses, the club locker rooms, the paneled offices of business that gossip reaches its luxuriant flower.”
—Phyllis McGinley (19051978)
