• Late April and you are three; today
  We dug your garden in the yard.
  To curb the damage of your play,
  Strange dogs at night and the moles tunneling,
  Four slender sticks of lath stand guard
  Uplifting their thin string.
  
  So you were the first to tramp it down.
  And after the earth was sifted close
  You brought your watering can to drown
  All earth and us. But these mixed seeds are pressed
  With light loam in their steadfast rows.
  Child, we've done our best.

  W. D. Snodgrass

• The flower inside the fruit that is both its parent and its child. Decadent as ancestors. The portal and that which passes. Nuclear devices activated, and the machine keeps pushing time through the cogs, like paste into strings into paste again, and only the machine keeps using time to make time to make time. And when the machine stops, time was an illusion that we created free will.

  Ronald D. Moore

• Most men, no matter how well or badly dressed, carry overstuffed, beat up wallets that should have been replaced years ago. Why is that? Every time I see a guy take out a wallet anywhere, it looks like a piece of old melted chocolate cake-with strings.

• A SWEET disorder in the dress
  Kindles in clothes a wantonness :
  A lawn about the shoulders thrown
  Into a fine distraction :
  An erring lace which here and there
  Enthrals the crimson stomacher :
  A cuff neglectful, and thereby
  Ribbons to flow confusedly :
  A winning wave (deserving note)
  In the tempestuous petticoat :
  A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
  I see a wild civility :
  Do more bewitch me than when art
  Is too precise in every part.

  Robert Herrick
