Paradoxes and Oxymorons
"And before you know
It gets lost in the steam and chatter of typewriters."
-John Ashbery
"Though I than He- may longer live
He longer must- than I-
For I have but the power to kill,
Without-the power to die-
~Emily Dickenson
Nothing Gold Can Stay
"Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay."
-Robert Frost
