    Infinite wrath and infinite despair?
    Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
    And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
    Still threat’ning to devour me opens wide,
    To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.”

    For watermelons gutted to the crust,
    Mud for the mole-tide harbor, mud for mouse,

    A year and a day to wind and tide; the dust
    Is on this skipping heart that shakes my house,”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
