Up the tumultuous brook of Green-head Ghyll,
You will suppose that with an upright path
Your feet must struggle; in such bold ascent

She stumbles not, as stronger creatures do.
Her journey's shorter, so she may endure
Better than they which do much farther go.

Hunting he loved, but love he laughed to scorn.

The Iliad: Book 03

Her blood-hounds through the countryside,

When the child of morning, rosy-fingered Dawn, appeared,

The days when we had rest, O soul, for they were long.

Disconsolate men who stamp their sodden boots
And turn dulled, sunken faces to the sky
