    A twelve-year-old darling
    And laughing and calling
    She tossed her bright hair;”

    “Beauty sat bathing by a spring,
    Where fairest shades did hide her;
    The winds blew calm, the birds did sing,
    The cool streams ran beside her.
    My wanton thoughts enticed mine eye
    To see what was forbidden:
    But better memory said Fie;
    So vain desire was chidden—”
    —Anthony Munday (1553–1633)

    on a dime that would never last,
    I ran through the airport.
    Wild for love, I ran through the airport,
    stockings and skirts and dollars.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
