Once fishing was a rabbit's foot—
O wind blow cold, O wind blow hot,
Let suns stay in or suns step out:
Life danced a jig on the sperm-whale's spout—
The fisher's fluent and obscene
Catches kept his conscience clean.

Robert Lowell

I — really I can do little, as little now as then, about the infernal fires — I cannot blow out a match.

Robert Lowell
