"Another nice example from Shakespeare, from Antony and Cleopatra (and certainly not from prose or from a "low" character): 'Those hearts that spanielled me at heels...' "
My favorite, from the same play: "I shall see / Some squeaking Cleopatra boy my greatness / I' th' posture of a whore."
And here are a few of many penned by a poet much admired among Sphereans:
"the moon sheets wall and tree"
"it smalled and died away"
"he darked my cottage door"********both adjectives as noun
"my clothing clams me"
"I was scarce of mood to comrade her"
"whose temple bulked upon the adjoining hill"
"mirrors meant to glass the opulent"
"beings who fellowed with myself"
"one who shrined all that was best of womankind"
"foreign constellations west each night"
For those who neither recognize nor guess the poet, it is Thomas Hardy.
