'Among the dark pines'
“The thin, slant willows by the flooded bog,
The huge stranded hulk and the floating log,
Sorrow with life began!
“And among the dark pines, and along the flat shore,
O the wind, and the wind, for evermore!
What will become of man?’’
— From “Cape Cod, ‘‘ by George Santayana (1863-1952)
