    ‘What is the world, O soldiers?
    It is I,
    I, this incessant snow,
    This northern sky;
    Walter De La Mare (1873–1956)

    That God has laid His fingers on the sky,
    That from those fingers glittering summer runs
    Upon the dancer by the dreamless wave.
    Why should those lovers that no lovers miss
    Dream, until God burn Nature with a kiss?
    The man has found no comfort in the grave.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    he was nothing to be won or lost.
    All lands to him were Ithaca: love-tossed
    He loathed to fraud, yet would not bed alone.
