    “Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
    Went down the list of the dead.
    Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
    The crews of the gig and yawl,
    The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
    Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”
    —Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)

    “Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Canada are the horns, the head, the neck, the shins, and the hoof of the ox, and the United States are the ribs, the sirloin, the kidneys, and the rest of the body.”
    —William Cobbett (1762–1835)

    If with too credent ear you list his songs,
    Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
    To his unmastered importunity.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Man was Cadaver’s masker, the harnessing mantle,
    Windily master of man was the rotten fathom,
    My ghost in his metal neptune
    Forged in man’s mineral.
    This was the god of beginning in the intricate seawhirl,
    And my images roared and rose on heaven’s hill.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “How many ages hence
    Shall this our lofty scene be acted over
    In states unborn and accents yet unknown!”
