    “I made a list of things I have
    to remember and a list

    but I see they are the same list.”
    —Linda Pastan (b. 1932)

    “Lastly, his tomb
    Shall list and founder in the troughs of grass
    And none shall speak his name.”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    “Within the regions of the air,
    Compassed about with heavens fair,
    Great tracts of land there may be found
    Enriched with fields and fertile ground;
    Where many numerous hosts
    In those far distant coasts,
    For other great and glorious ends,
    Inhabit, my yet unknown friends.”
    —Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
