    “Dug from the tomb of taste-refining time,
    Each form is exquisite, each block sublime.
    Or good, or bad,—disfigur’d, or deprav’d,—
    All art, is at its resurrection sav’d;
    All crown’d with glory in the critic’s heav’n,
    Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.”
    —Martin Archer, Sir Shee (1769–1850)

    “O, there’s a wind a-blowing, a-blowing from the west,
    And that of all the winds is the one I like the best,

    And it soon will blow us home to the old countrie.”
    —William Ernest Henley (1849–1903)
