    Bolted against me.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)

    And we may be led, then, upward through more
    Powerful forms of poetry, past columns
    With peeling posters on them, to the country of indifference.

    Unhappily and too soon, the little people are nonetheless real.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
