    Not Solomon, for all his wit,
    Nor Samson, though he were so strong,

    Could ‘scape, but death laid him along:

    Nor is there singing school but studying
    Monuments of its own magnificence;

    To the holy city of Byzantium.

    Unloved, that beech will gather brown,
    This maple burn itself away;

    Unloved, the sun-flower, shining fair,
    Ray round with flames her disk of seed,
    And many a rose-carnation feed
    With summer spice the humming air;
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
