“... So its plain to be discerned
That the shades of holy men
Who have failed, being weak of will,
Pass the Door of Birth again,
And are plagued by crowds, until
Theyve passion to escape.”

“Fair is my Love, and cruel as shes fair
Her brow shades frowns, although her eyes are sunny;
Her smiles are lightning, though her pride despair;
And her disdains are gall, her favours honey.
A modest maid, decked with a blush of honour,
Whose feet do tread green paths of youth and love,”
—Samuel Daniel (15621619)
“Down the blue night the unending columns press
In noiseless tumult, break and wave and flow,”
—Rupert Brooke (18871915)
