    Though language forms the preacher,

    And the mate of the Nancybrig,
    And a bos’sun tight, and a midshipmite,
    And the crew of the captain’s gig!”’
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    It began with begging.
    In the beginning it was all God’s icebox
    and everyone ate raw fish or animals
    and there was no fire at night to dance to,
    no fire at day to cook by.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
