    “Upset at the young wife’s
    first loss of virtue
    in a riverside thicket,
    a flock of birds
    flies up,
    mourning the loss
    with their wings.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    “Something inspires the only cow of late
    To make no more of a wall than an open gate,
    And think no more of wall-builders than fools.”
