    “Lincoln, six feet one in his stocking feet,
    The lank man, knotty and tough as a hickory rail,
    Whose hands were always too big for white-kid gloves,
    Whose wit was a coonskin sack of dry, tall tales,
    Whose weathered face was homely as a plowed field.”
    —Stephen Vincent BenĂ©t (1898–1943)

    “How strange a thing is death, bringing to his knees, bringing to his antlers/The buck in the snow.”

    “But she is early up and out,
    To trim the year or strip its bones;”
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
