“My temptation is quiet.
Here at life’s end

Consuming its rag and bone,
Can make the truth known.”

—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

Buttress, nor coign of vantage, but this bird
Hath made his pendant bed and procreant cradle;
Where they most breed and haunt, I have observed
The air is delicate.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Thy fair virtue’s force perforce doth move me
On the first view to say, to swear, I love thee.”
