    I know that Quiet
    Wanders laughing and eating her wild heart
    Among pigeons and bees, while the Great Archer,
    Who but awaits His hour to shoot, still hangs
    A cloudy quiver over Pairc-na-lee.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    And the country proverb known,
    That every man should take his own,
    In your waking shall be shown.
    Jack shall have Jill,
    Naught shall go ill:
    The man shall have his mare again, and all shall be well.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    My case is a species of madness, only that it is a derangement of the Volition, & not of the intellectual faculties.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
