    In bulk, doth make man better be,
    Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
    To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:
    A lily of a day
    Is fairer far in May
    Although it fall and die that night;
    It was the plant and flower of light.
    In small proportions we just beauties see,
    And in short measures life may perfect be.”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    So quickly, not as one that weeps
    I come once more; the city sleeps;
    I smell the meadow in the street;”
