    For this your mother sweated in the cold,
    For this you bled upon the bitter tree:
    A yard of tinsel ribbon bought and sold;
    A paper wreath; a day at home for me.
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    Panting, begging I clutched childlike, clutched to the hot sides of
    death.
    Now I am dry bones and my face a stony skull staring in yellow
    surprise at the sun. . . .
    —Richard Wright (1808–1860)

    Then, though darkened, you shall say,
    When friends fail, and Princes frown,
    Virtue is the roughest way,
    But proves at night a bed of down.
    —Sir Henry Wotton (1568–1639)
