—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“All is possible,
Who so list believe;
Trust therefore first, and after preve,
As men wed ladies by license and leave,
All is possible.”
—Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)
“A city on th’ inconstant billows dancing;
For so appears this fleet majestical.”

—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
