Never since the middle summer’s spring
Met we on hill, in dale, forest, or mead,
By pavèd fountain or by rushy brook,
Or in the beachèd margent of the sea
To dance our ringlets to the whistling wind,
But with thy brawls thou hast disturbed our sport. - William Shakespeare Attribution: William Shakespeare (1564–1616), British dramatist, poet. Titania, in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, act 2, sc. 1, l. 82-7.

To fly from, need not be to hate, mankind:
All are not fit with them to stir and toil,
Nor is it discontent to keep the mind
Deep in its fountain, lest it overboil. - George Gordon Noel Byron Attribution: George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824), British poet. Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, cto. 3, st. 69 (1812-1818).
