    “Why hast thou nothing in thy face?

    The flower of lovely youth that art;”

    “But seldom the laurel wreath is seen
    Unmixed with pensive pansies dark;
    There’s a light and a shadow on every man
    Who at last attains his lifted mark—
    Nursing through night the ethereal spark.
    Elate he never can be;
    He feels that spirits which glad had hailed his worth,
    Sleep in oblivion.—The shark
    Glides white through the phosphorus sea.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “What rein can hold licentious wickedness
    When down the hill he holds his fierce career?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
