And here face downward in the sun
To feel how swift how secretly
The shadow of the night comes on . . .”

And lend a tongue when distance gags the heart.”

As light fails, to notice the first star
Pulsing alone in a long shell-coloured sky....”

“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
