“They all came, some wore sentiments
Emblazoned on T-shirts, proclaiming the lateness
Of the hour, and indeed the sun slanted its rays
Through branches of Norfolk Island pine as though
Politely clearing its throat....”

“The even mead, that erst brought sweetly forth
The freckled cowslip, burnet, and green clover,
Wanting the scythe, all uncorrected, rank.
Conceives by idleness, and nothing teems
But hateful docks, rough thistles, kecksies, burrs,
Losing both beauty and utility.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“There where the course is,
Delight makes all of the one mind,
The riders upon the galloping horses,
The crowd that closes in behind....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
