    Give me th’ avowed, th’ erect, the manly foe,
    Bold I can meet—perhaps may turn his blow;

    Save, save, oh! save me from the Candid Friend.

    I know of the sleepy country, where swans fly round
    Coupled with golden chains, and sing as they fly.
    A king and a queen are wandering there, and the sound
    Has made them so happy and hopeless, so deaf and so blind
    With wisdom, they wander till all the years have gone by....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
