    Well, well, Henry James is pretty good, though he is of the nineteenth century, and that glaringly.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    Unhappy is the man for evermair
    That tills the sand and sawis in the air;
    But twice unhappier is he, I lairn,
    That feidis in his hairt a mad desire
    And follows on a woman thro the fire,
    Led by a blind and teachit by a bairn.
    —Mark Alexander Boyd (1563–1601)
