Th’ Atlantic billows roar’d,
When such a destin’d wretch as I,
Wash’d headlong from on board,
Of friends, of hope, of all bereft,
His floating home for ever left.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)

Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
