    “creamy iridescent coats of mail,
    with small iridescent flies crawling on them.”
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    “Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Luke 3:11.

    John the Baptist.

    “Shall the Spring dawn, and she still clad in smiles,
    And with an unscathed brow,
    Rest in the strong arms of her palm-crowned isles,
    As fair and free as now?

    We know not; in the temple of the Fates
    God has inscribed her doom;
    And, all untroubled in her faith, she waits
    The triumph or the tomb.”
    —Henry Timrod (1828–1867)
