    “To face the garment of rebellion
    With some fine color that may please the eye
    Of fickle changelings and poor discontents.
    Which gape and rub the elbow at the news
    Of hurly-burly innovation.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “will your eyes lie in wait,
    little field mice nestling on their paws?
    Perhaps they will say nothing,
    perhaps they will be dark and leaden,
    having played their own game
    somewhere else....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Half hidden from the eye!
    Fair as a star, when only one
    Is shining in the sky.”
