“Dear little Bog-Face,
Why are you so cold?
And why do you lie with your eyes shut?--
You are not very old.

I am a Child of this World
And a Child of Grace,
And Mother, I shall be glad when it is over,
I am Bog-Face.”
― Stevie Smith

“Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads.”
― Marianne Moore
