    Gracious Lord, oh bomb the Germans.
    Spare their women for Thy Sake,
    And if that is not too easy
    We will pardon Thy Mistake.
    But gracious Lord, whate’er shall be,
    Don’t let anyone bomb me.
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

    Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; but urge me not to use moderation in a case like the present.
    —William Lloyd Garrison (1805–1879)

    I have tossed hours upon the tides of fever,
    Upon the billows of my bood have ridden,
    Where fish of fancy teem as neither river
    Nor ocean spawns from India to Sweden.
    —Vassar Miller (b. 1924)
