    By words, by voices, a lost way—

    When lilacs last in the dooryard bloomed
    And the great star early drooped in the western sky in the night,
    I mourned, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.
    Ever-returning spring, trinity sure to me you bring,
    Lilac blooming perennial and drooping star in the west,
    And thought of him I love.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    Olivia. Is’t not well done?
    Viola. Excellently done, if God did all.

    Viola. ‘Tis beauty truly blent, whose red and white
    Nature’s own sweet and cunning hand laid on.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
