    “When Alexander Pope strolled in the city
    Strict was the glint of pearl and gold sedans.
    Ladies leaned out more out of fear than pity
    For Pope’s tight back was rather a goat’s than man’s.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Lift my head, help me up,
    I am bruised, bone and flesh;
    chafe my white hands, my servants....”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
