    No man hath any quarrel to me. My remembrance is very free and clear from any image of offence done to any man.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    folds all energy in:
    the image glares filling all space:
    the head falls and
    hangs and cannot wake itself.

    Hedges sprouted, the moon tenderly shone,
    The owls trilled with tongues of nightingale.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)
