    “The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
    The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
    Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
    And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
    Leave not a rack behind.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “A ward, and still in bonds, one day
    I stole abroad;
    It was high spring, and all the way
    Primrosed and hung with shade;
    Yet was it frost within,
    And surly winds
    Blasted my infant buds, and sin
    Like clouds eclipsed my mind.”
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    “The great mass of people judge well of things, for they are in natural ignorance, which is man’s true state.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
