    Toll on, thou passing bell;
    Ring out my doleful knell;
    —George Boleyn (d. 1536)

    Death,
    I need my little addiction to you.
    I need that tiny voice who,
    even as I rise from the sea,
    all woman, all there,
    says kill me, kill me.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Whatever woman may cast her lot with mine, should any ever do so, it is my intention to do all in my power to make her happy and contented; and there is nothing I can imagine, that would make me more unhappy than to fail in the effort.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
