    “Light thickens, and the crow
    Makes wing to th’ rooky wood.

    “All the heavy days are over;
    Leave the body’s coloured pride
    Underneath the grass and clover,
    With the feet laid side by side.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The oft-repeated Roman story is written in still legible characters in every quarter of the Old World, and but today, perchance, a new coin is dug up whose inscription repeats and confirms their fame. Some “Judæa Capta,” with a woman mourning under a palm tree, with silent argument and demonstration confirms the pages of history.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
