    “Long sibilant-muscled trees
    Were lifting up, the black poplars.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Dwell on her graciousness, dwell on her smiling,
    Do not forget what flowers
    The great boar trampled down in ivy time.
    Her brow was creamy as the crested wave,
    Her sea-blue eyes were wild
    But nothing promised that is not performed.”
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    “Style is the image of character.”
    —Edward Gibbon (1737–1794)
