    “The victors and the vanquished then the storm it tossed and tore,
    As hard they strove, those worn-out men, upon that surly shore;
    Dead Nelson and his half-dead crew, his foes from near and far,
    Were rolled together on the deep that night at Trafalgar!”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “the horsemen came
    Again, all but the leader: it was night
    Momently and I feared: eleven same

    Whose Corpse had died again in dirty shame.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
