• Discussing the attempts of Augustus' generals to add to the extent of the Roman Empire early in his reign:
  The northern countries of Europe scarcely deserved the expense and labour of conquest. The forests and morasses of Germany were filled with a hardy race of barbarians, who despised life when it was separated from freedom; and though, on the first attack, they seemed to yield to the weight of the Roman power, they soon, by a signal act of despair, regained their independence, and reminded Augustus of the vicissitude of fortune.

• I caught a tremendous fish
  and held him beside the boat
  half out of water, with my hook
  fast in a corner of his mouth.
  He didn't fight.
  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
  I stared and stared
  and victory filled up
  the little rented boat
  from the pool of bilge
  where oil had spread a rainbow
  around the rusted engine
  to the bailer rusted orange,
  the sun-cracked thwarts
  the oarlocks on their strings,
  the gunnels-until everything
  was rainbow, rainbow, rainbow!
  And I let the fish go.
