    “The river’s tent is broken; the last fingers of leaf
    Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind
    Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed.
    Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.
    The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,
    Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
    Or other testimony of summer nights.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “While the town small-talk flows from lip to lip;
    Intrigues half-gathered, conversation-scraps,
    Kitchen-cabals, and nursery-mishaps.”
    —George Crabbe (1754–1832)
