    Mark where the pressing wind shoots javelin-like
    Its skeleton shadow on the broad-backed wave!
    Here is a fitting spot to dig Love’s grave;
    —George Meredith (1828–1909)

    A monk ther was, a fair for the maistrie,
    An outridere, that lovede venerie,
    A manly man, to been an abbot able.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
