    “Of all the horrid, hideous notes of woe,
    Sadder than owl-songs or the midnight blast,

    Uttered by friends, those prophets of the past.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    Of all the many changing things
    In dreary dancing past us whirled,
    To the cracked tune that Chronos sings,
    Words alone are certain good.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
