South American

    “Even when seen from near, the olive shows
    A hue of far away. Perhaps for this
    The dove brought olive back, a tree which grows
    Unearthly pale, which ever dims and dries,
    And whose great thirst, exceeding all excess,
    Teaches the South it is not paradise.”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    “If Shakespeare has not been equalled, he is sure to be surpassed, and surpassed by an American born now or yet to be born.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
