    “Wisely watch for the sight
    Of the supernova burgeoning over the barn,
    Lampshine blurred in the steam of beasts, the spirit’s right
    Oasis, light incarnate.”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    “The American people have done much for the locomotive, and the locomotive has done much for them.”
