Go right now and read this beautiful poem.

"Life's Rendezvous" by Countee Cullen

I read this and was moved by the urgency and the seduction and the sense of "sneakin'" as the poet recounts living.

Ah.

How about Philip Larkin? Try "First Sight" at http://www.artofeurope.com/larkin/lar4.htm

It even has a sheep reference.
