    To cloke the trothe for praisse withowt desart,
    Of them that lyst all vice for to retayne.

    With Venus and Baccus all theire lyf long;
    Nor holld my pece of them allthoo I smart.”

    If we too miss out, don’t create our lives,
    invent or deeds, do them, dance
    a tune with our own feet,
    we shall thirst in Hades,
    in the blood of our children.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
