    “The flame o’ th’ taper
    Bows toward her, and would under-peep her lids,

    With blue of heaven’s own tinct.”

    “There is a mountain in the distant West
    That, sun-defying, in its deep ravines
    Displays a cross of snow upon its side.
    Such is the cross I wear upon my breast
    These eighteen years, through all the changing scenes
    And seasons, changeless since the day she died.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    Is permanent like the preordained bulk
    Of the First National Bank
    Like fish sauce, but agreeable.”
