“Hast thou not dragged Diana from her car,
And driven the hamadryad from the wood
To seek a shelter in some happier star?

The elfin from the green grass, and from me
The summer dream beneath the tamarind tree?”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

The head in the dark below
Was a shade less the color of night,
A shade more the color of snow.”

That each may fill the circle mark’d by Heav’n:”
