    She is watching her country lose its evoked master shape watching
    it lose
    And gain get back its houses and peoples watching it bring up
    Its local lights single homes lamps on barn roofs

    She was a woman who, between courses, could be graceful with her elbows on the table.
    —Henry James (1843–1916)

    It was something like love
    From another world that seized her
    From behind, and she gave, not lifting her head
    Out of dew, without ever looking, her best
    Self to that great need.
    —James Dickey (b. 1923)
