    —Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    With your dim heavy hair,
    And trouble with a sigh for all things longing for rest
    The odorous twilight there.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The handsomest young man there,
    And his neck and his breast and his arms
    Were drowned in her long dim hair.”
