Awake! for Morning in the bowl of night Has flung the stone that puts the stars to flight: And Lo! the Hunter of the East has caught The Sultan's turret in a noose of light.

-Fitzgerald, Edward
  The Ruba¤  iya¤  t of Omar Khayya¤  m of Naishapur, stanza1.

And naked to the hangman's noose The morning clocks will ring A neck God made for other use Than strangling in a string.

-Housman, A(lfred) E(dward)
  A Shropshire Lad, no.9.
