    Alice: I put swimsuits in boxes six days a week.

    How high they build hospitals!
    Lighted cliffs, against dawns
    Of days people will die on.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Now days are dragon-ridden, the nightmare
    Rides upon sleep: a drunken soldiery
    Can leave the mother, murdered at her door,
    To crawl in her own blood, and go scot-free;
    The night can sweat with terror as before
    We pieced our thoughts into philosophy....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
