    “He saw, he wish’d, and to the prize aspir’d.
    Resolv’d to win, he meditates the way,
    By force to ravish, or by fraud betray;
    For when success a lover’s toil attends,
    Few ask, if fraud or force attain’d his ends.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “By his command these words are cut:
    Cast a cold eye
    On life, on death.
    Horseman, pass by!”
