DPF / Poe

from A Dream Within a Dream / by Edgar Allan Poe b. 1809

Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?

DPF / Orr

From Gathering the Bones Together, 1975. More at:

from From That Moment / by Gregory Orr

From that moment he breathes more carefully,
like a man who has swallowed a cloud.
