    “The banners flashing through the trees
    Make their blood dance and chain their eyes;

    Arrests them with a charm’d surprise.
    Banner by turns and bugle woo:
    Ye shy recluses, follow too!”

    Separately, always, seeing another year gone
    Frockcoated gentleman, farmer at his gate,
    Villein with mattock, soldiers on their shields,
    All silent, watching the winter coming on.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
