    “Now William pulled the lever down,
    And click-clack went the printing-press.
    William was the only printer in town
    Who had peeped while the angels undress.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Thus Winter falls,
    A heavy gloom oppressive o’er the world
    Through Nature shedding influence malign,
    And rouses up the seeds of dark disease.
    The soul of man dies in him, loathing life,
    And black with more than melancholy views.”
    —James Thomson (1700–1748)
