               According to L. Gabriel, the astounding increase
               in resource consumption over the past four decades
               is "stressing our life support systems" (1).

• For quotes that are longer than four
  lines, begin a new line and indent one
  inch (two tabs) from the rest of the text.
  Double spaces the quote and do not add
  quotation marks. Do not indent the first
  line of the quote.

• For a quote that includes part or all of a single line of verse
  and does not require special emphasis, add quotation
  marks and keep it within your text. If you use two or three
  lines of verse, follow the same procedure, but use a slash
  ( / ) with a space on either side to separate the lines of
  verse.

               Michele Watson describes the sentinel experience in her poem

• For a quote that is more than three lines of verse, begin the
  quote on a new line, indenting each line of the verse one
  inch (two tabs) from the left margin and double space
  between lines. Do not add quotation marks unless
  they appear in the original source.

                Langston Hughes' "I, Too" is very thought provoking:

                     I am the darker brother.

                     They send me to eat in the kitchen

                     When company comes,

                     But I laugh,

                     And eat well,                                           

                     And grow strong. (15)
