    Where the Muse herself
    All Time fulfils,
    Who cuts with his scythe
    All things but hers;
    All but the blithe
    Hexameters.
    —Oliver St. John Gogarty (1878–1957)

    this is the night, and this the happy time
    When the tinned milk of human kindness is
    Upheld and holed by radio-appeal.
    —William Robert Rodgers (1909–1969)
