    “Show me no more those snowy breasts
    With azure riverets branched
    Where, whilst mine eye with plenty feasts
    Yet is my thirst not staunched;
    O Tantalus, thy pains ne’er tell,
    By me thou are prevented;
    ‘Tis nothing to be plagued in Hell,
    But thus in Heaven tormented.”
    —Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

    No answer to the children’s cry
    Of echo’s answer and the man of frost
    And ghostly comets over the raised fists.”
