“Desponding Phyllis was endud
With evry Talent of a Prude,
She trembled when a Man drew near;
Salute her, and she turnd her Ear:
If oer against her you were placd
She durst not look above your Waist;”
—Jonathan Swift (16671745)
“We saw by the flitting clouds, by the first russet tinge on the hills, by the rushing river, the cottages on shore, and the shore itself, so coolly fresh and shining with dew, and later in the day, by the hue of the grape-vine, the goldfinch on the willow, the flickers flying in flocks, and when we passed near enough to the shore, as we fancied, by the faces of men, that the fall had commenced.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
