Furnished with tile, the fierce artificer
Curves his white bastions with projected roof”

And the ambulance came crashing through the dust
Of the new day, the moon and the sun and the stars,

In the volcano and the sea ran far away
Yellow over the hot sand, green as the green trees.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
