    “Tell me how many beads there are
    In a silver chain
    Of evening rain,
    Unravelled from the tumbling main,
    And threading the eye of a yellow star:—
    So many times do I love again.”
    —Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803–1849)

    Yes, his white-on-white shirt and tie were luminous.
    His trousers were creased like knives to the tops of his shoes
    And his yellow straw hat came down to his dark glasses.”
    —David Wagoner (b. 1926)

    “I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
    And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,”
