'Then murmur'd Arthur,"Place me in the barge,"
And to the barge they came. There those three Queens
Put forth their hands, and took the King, and wept.'
-Lord Tennyson

'There is no cockcrow in the dark,
No bleat from a far fold,
When the Forest Folk begin to stir
Under the starlight cold.
Rend your wild hair, you elfin things,
That peep from bush and tree...'
-Cicely Fox Smith, The Enchanted Forest

'Who would be
A mermaid fair,
Singing alone,
Combing her hair
Under the sea,
In a golden curl
With a comb of pearl,
On a throne?
I would be a mermaid fair;
I would sing to myself the whole of the day...'
-Lord Tennyson

'...What cares a witch for a hangman’s noose?
They buried them deep, but they wouldn’t lie still,
For cats and witches are hard to kill;
They swore they shouldn’t and wouldn’t die, —
Books said they did, but they lie! they lie!'
-Oliver Wendell Holmes
