And he a winter breeze.”

The brightest heaven of invention!
A kingdom for a stage, princes to act,
And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!”

My house was on a cliff. The thing could take
Bookloads off shelves, break bottles in a row.
Then the long pause and then the bigger shake.
It seemed the best thing to be up and go.”
—William Empson (1906–1984)
