    “Return to her? and fifty men dismissed?
    No, rather I abjure all roofs, and choose
    To wage against the enmity o’ th’ air,
    To be a comrade with the wolf and owl—
    Necessity’s sharp pinch.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Yet I shall never return to the past, that attic.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
