How many times do I love, again?
Tell me how many beads there are
In a silver chain
Of evening rain
Unravelled from the trembling main
And threading the eye of a yellow star:—
So many times do I love again.

— Thomas Lovell Beddoes

A lake
Is a river curled and asleep like a snake.

If there were dreams to sell,
Merry and sad to tell,
And the crier rung his bell,
What would you buy?

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
