“But let my due feet never fail
To walk the studious cloister’s pale,
And love the high embowed roof,
With antic pillars massy proof,
And storied windows richly dight,
Casting a dim, religious light.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

Where no storms come,
Where the green swell is in the havens dumb,
And out of the swing of the sea.”
