“No man can tell but he that loves his children, how many delicious accents make a man’s heart dance in the pretty conversation of those dear pledges; their childishness, their stammering, their little angers, their innocence, their imperfections, their necessities, are so many little emanations of joy and comfort to him that delights in their persons and society.”
—Jeremy Taylor (1613–1667)

Who was carried far out by the tide.
Cried a man-eating shark,
“How’s this for a lark?
I knew that the Lord would provide.””
—Anonymous.
“Unreal city,
Under the brown fog of a winter dawn,
A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many,
I had not thought death had undone so many.”
