By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.”

Quips and cranks, and wanton wiles,
Nods and becks, and wreathed smiles,”

“I’d rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
