    “My maiden Isabel,
    Reflaring rosabel.
    The fragrant camomel;
    The ruddy rosary,
    The sovereign rosemary,
    The pretty strawberry;
    The columbine, the nept,
    The jelofer well set,
    The proper violet:”
    —John Skelton (1460?–1529)

    “He makes his voyage too late, perhaps, by a true water clock who delays too long.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I, Alphonso, live and learn,
    Seeing Nature go astern.
    Things deteriorate in kind;
    Lemons run to leaves and rind;
    Meagre crop of figs and limes;
    Shorter days and harder times.
    Flowering April cools and dies
    In the insufficient skies.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
