    “And the sun and the stove and the mice and the gnawed paper
    Made up the days and nights when I missed supper,

    Of tramways and bells. But one night I heard the feet.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “When I heard the learn’d astronomer,
    When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,”
