    “Saint, do you weep? I hear amid the thunder
    The Fenian horses; armour torn asunder;
    Laughter and cries. The armies clash and shock,
    And now the daylight-darkening ravens flock.
    Cease, cease, O mournful, laughing Fenian horn!”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Man know thy powers, and not observe thy size,
    The noble power in piercing reason lies,
    And reason conquers all, and rules the skies.”
    —Marcus Manilius (10 B.C.–A.D. 30)

    ““... There, there,
    What you complain of, all the nations share.
    Their effort is a mounting ecstasy
    That when it gets too exquisite to bear
    Will find relief in one burst. You shall see.
    That’s what a certain bomb was sent to be.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
