    Will he not let us alone,
    And think that there a loving couple lies

    To make their souls, at the last busy day,
    Meet at this grave, and make a little stay?”

    “I saw young Harry with his beaver on,
    His cuisses on his thighs, gallantly armed,
    Rise from the ground like feathered Mercury,
    And vaulted with such ease into his seat
    As if an angel dropped down from the clouds
    To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus,
    And witch the world with noble horsemanship.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “... the function of art is to do more than tell it like it is—it’s to imagine what is possible.”
