    When the Prince of Piedmont [later Charles Emmanuel IV, King of Sardinia] was seven years old, his preceptor instructing him in mythology told him all the vices were enclosed in Pandora’s box. “What! all!” said the Prince. “Yes, all.” “No,” said the Prince; “curiosity must have been without.”
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

    There beneath the Roman ruin where the purple flowers grow,
    Came that “Ave atque Vale” of the poet’s hopeless woe,
    Tenderest of Roman poets nineteen hundred years ago,
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
