On the occasion of another American anniversary, it is worth remembering that the nation has always been defined less by its achievements than by its arguments — and that poets, more than politicians, have had the courage to hold both the promise and the failure in the same breath.

The tradition endures because the project it describes is unfinished, and perhaps always will be.
