“And each of the huge white creatures was huger than fourscore men;
The tops of their ears were feathered, their hands were the claws of birds,

The breathing came from those bodies, long warless, grown whiter than curds.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“With how sad steps, O Moon, thou climbst the skies;
How silently, and with how wan a face.”
