"Now put me into the barge, said the king. For I will into the vale of Avilion, to heal me of my grievous wound. And if thou hear never more of me, pray for my soul."

"And near Merlin stood the Lady of the Lake,
Who knows a subtler magic than his own,
Clothed in white samite, mystic, wonderful.
She gave the King his huge cross-hilted sword,
Whereby to drive the heathen out."

- Idylls of the King

'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

But Mousie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best-laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men
Gang aft agley,
An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain,
For promis’d joy!

—Robert Burns (1785) 🐁

"Swith! in some beggar's haffet squattle; There ye may creep, and sprawl, and sprattle, Wi' ither kindred, jumping cattle, In shoals and nations; Whaur horn nor bane ne'er daur unsettle Your thick plantations."

Robert Burns

“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more” (Lord Byron)

"Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight,
At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more,
When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death,
And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again."

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
