    “And yet these Rarities might be allow’d,
    To Man, that sov’raign thing and proud;
    Had he not dealt between the Bark and Tree,
    Forbidden mixtures there to see.
    No Plant now knew the Stock from which it came;
    He grafts upon the Wild the Tame:”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    “Had she come all the way for this,
    To part at last without a kiss?
    Yea, had she borne the dirt and rain
    That her own eyes might see him slain
    Beside the haystack in the floods?”
    —William Morris (1834–1896)
