    The autumnal change of our woods has not yet made a deep impression on our own literature yet. October has hardly tinged our poetry.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    But no, he only said,
    “Well, there’s the storm. That says I must go on.
    That wants me as a war might if it came.
    Ask any man.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    All night I’ve held your hand,
    as if you had
    a fourth time faced the kingdom of the mad—
    its hackneyed speech, its homicidal eye—
    and dragged me home alive. . . .
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    Dark accurate plunger down the successive knell
    Of arch on arch, where ogives burst a red
    Reverberance of hail upon the dead
    Thunder like an exploding crucible!
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
