    Maid
    of the luminous grey-eyes,
    Mistress
    of honey and marble implacable white thighs
    and Goddess,
    chaste daughter of Zeus.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Where the bee sucks, there suck I,
    In a cowslip’s bell I lie;
    There I couch when owls do cry.
    On the bat’s back I do fly
    After summer merrily.
    Merrily, merrily shall I live now,
    Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
