    “We are powerless,
    dust and powder fill our lungs
    our bodies blunder
    through doors twisted on hinges.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “The extra worry began it—on the
    Blue blue mountain—she never set foot
    And then and there. Meanwhile the host
    Mourned her quiet tenure. They all stayed chatting.
    No one did much about eating.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “For the profit of travel: in the first place, you get rid of a few prejudices.... The prejudiced against color finds several hundred millions of people of all shades of color, and all degrees of intellect, rank, and social worth, generals, judges, priests, and kings, and learns to give up his foolish prejudice.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
