The Road not taken. [Robert Frost]
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,?And sorry I could not travel both?And be one traveler, long I stood?And looked down one as far as I could?To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Spring. [John Gould Fletcher]
At the first hour, it was as if one said, "Arise."?At the second hour, it was as if one said, "Go forth."?And the winter constellations that are like patient ox-eyes Sank below the white horizon at the north.

At the fifth hour, darkness took the throne;?At the sixth hour, the earth shook and the wind cried;?At the seventh hour, the hidden seed was sown;?At the eighth hour, it gave up the ghost and died.
At the ninth hour, they sealed
