    The convent, which belongs to the West as it does to the East, to antiquity as it does to the present time, to Buddhism and Muhammadanism as it does to Christianity, is one of the optical devices whereby man gains a glimpse of infinity.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
    Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot!
    Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
    Cry, “God for Harry! England and Saint George!”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Many famous feet have trod
    Sublunary paths, and famous hands have weighed
    The strength they have against the strength they need;
    And famous lips interrogated God
    Concerning franchise in eternity....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
