    “Thee for my recitative,
    Thee in the driving storm even as now, the snow, the winter-day

    convulsive,
    Thy black cylindric body, golden brass and silvery steel,”

    “I climb to the tower-top and lean upon broken stone,
    A mist that is like blown snow is sweeping over all,
    Valley, river, and elms, under the light of a moon
    That seems unlike itself, that seems unchangeable,
    A glittering sword out of the east.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
