"Again the traffic lights that skim thy swift

Unfractioned idiom, immaculate sigh of starts,

Beading they path--condense eternity:

And we have seen night lifted in thine arms."

-- Hart Crane, To Brooklyn Bridge

"THIS is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless,
Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done,
Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou lovest best.
Night, sleep, and the stars."

-- Walt Whitman, from A Clear Midnight

“We sat in the car 

& the night dropped
down until the
only sounds were
the crickets &
the dance of our voices

& for a moment
the world became
small enough to
roll back & forth
between us.” 

-- Brian Andreas
