    “Wee Willie Winkie rins through the town,
    Up stairs and doon stairs in his nicht-gown,
    Tirling at the window, crying at the lock,
    ‘Are the weans in their bed, for it’s now ten o’clock?’”
    —William Miller (1810–1872)

    “But each day brings its petty dust
    Our soon-choked souls to fill,
    And we forget because we must,
    And not because we will.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
