    Oh! full Surrey twilight! importunate band!
    Oh! strongly adorable tennis-girl’s hand!
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

    The legend of Felix is ended, the toiling of Felix is done;
    The Master has paid him his wages, the goal of his journey is won;
    He rests, but he never is idle; a thousand years pass like a day,
    In the glad surprise of Paradise where work is sweeter than play.
    —Henry Van Dyke (1852–1933)
