    “The grip that swung the ax in Illinois
    Was on the pen that set a people free.”
    —Edwin Markham (1852–1940)

    “who should moor at his edge
    And fare on afoot would find gates of no gardens,
    But the hill of dark underfoot diving,
    Closing overhead, the cold deep, and drowning.
    He is called Leviathan, and named for rolling,”
    —William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)
