    “No jutty, frieze,
    Buttress, nor coign of vantage, but this bird
    Hath made his pendant bed and procreant cradle;
    Where they most breed and haunt, I have observed
    The air is delicate.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    My heart of thoughts that made it ache,
    And force me to a smile.”
