“Shall we now
Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
And sell the mighty space of our large honors
For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
Than such a Roman.”

Oh, that such our death may be!
Died in sleep, and felt no pain,
To live in happier form again:
From which, beneath Heavens fairest star,
The artist wrought this loved guitar;”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (17921822)
“A horse is dangerous at both ends and uncomfortable in the middle.”
