Our freshest dreams and meditations,
In swift succession should decay,
Like Autumn leaves that rot away.”

All of different voice and features:
One of us in glass is set,
One of us you’ll find in jet,
T’other you may see in tin,
And the fourth a box within;
If the fifth you should pursue,
It can never fly from you.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
