“—Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
At the North Pole. . .
And now what? Why, go back.
Turn as I please, my step is to the south.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
“If triangles had a god, they would give him three sides.”
—Charles Louis de Secondat Montesquieu (1689–1755)
“Since moons decay and suns decline,
How else should end this life of mine?”
—John Masefield (1878–1967)
