    “Where is the world we roved, Ned Bunn?
    Hollows thereof lay rich in shade
    By voyagers old inviolate thrown
    Ere Paul Pry cruised with Pelf and Trade.
    To us old lads some thoughts come home
    Who roamed a world young lads no more shall roam.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “The enquiring fields, courtesies
    And tribulations of the air
    Be still and give them peace:
    The girl in the gold hair
    With her young man in clover
    In shadow of the day’s glare ...”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
