    The LORD will afflict you with consumption, fever, inflammation, with fiery heat and drought, and with blight and mildew...
    Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 28:22.

    In the cowslips peeps I lie,
    Hidden from the buzzing fly,
    While green grass beneath me lies,
    Pearled wi’ dew like fishes’ eyes,
    Here I lye, a clock-a-clay,
    Waiting for the time o’ day.
    —John Clare (1793–1864)
