    In a room with a stuffed fox and a stale fern,
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Up a lazy river by the old mill run, that lazy, lazy river in the noonday sun.

    till disproportion’d sin
    Jarr’d against natures chime, and with harsh din
    Broke the fair musick that all creatures made
    To their great Lord, whose love their motion sway’d
    In perfect Diapason, whilst they stood
    In first obedience, and their state of good.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
