    “Sophocles long ago
    Heard it on the Aegaean, and it brought
    Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow
    Of human misery; we
    Find also in the sound a thought,
    Hearing it by this distant northern sea.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    His ears stuck out like teacups
    and his tongue, my God, his tongue,
    like a red worm and when he kissed
    it crawled right in.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
