    I must of force, God wot,
    Forbear my most desire;
    For no ways can I find
    To sail against the wind.
    —Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    Squats on a toad-stool under a tree
    A bodiless childfull of life in the gloom,
    Crying with frog voice, “What shall I be?
    Poor unborn ghost, for my mother killed me
    Scarcely alive in her wicked womb.
    —Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803–1849)
