"O, it is pleasant, with a heart at ease,
Just after sunset, or by moonlight skies,
To make the shifting clouds be what you please,
Or let the easily persuaded eyes
Own each quaint likeness issuing from the mould
Of a friend's fancy."
Author: Samuel Taylor Coleridge
About: Clouds

One who dwelleth by the castled Rhine,
When he call'd the flowers, so blue and golden,
Stars that on earth's firmament do shine."

What Izaak Walton sings or says:

Should have a hook, and a small trout to pull it."

"Come, now a roundel and a fairy song;
Then, for the third part of a minute, hence–
Some to kill canters in the musk-rose buds,
Some war with reremice for their leathren wings,
To make my small elves coats, and some keep back
The clamorous owl, that nightly hoots and wonders
At our quaint spirits."
Author: William Shakespeare
About: Owls

"Horas non numero nisi serenas."
There stands in the garden of old St. Mark
A sun dial quaint and gray.
It takes no heed of the hours which in dark
Pass o'er it day by day.
It has stood for ages amid the flowers
In that land of sky and song.
"I number none but the cloudless hours,"
Its motto the live day long."
Author: Bishop William Croswell Doane
About: Sun Dial Mottoes

"These Winter nights against my window-pane
Nature with busy pencil draws designs
Of ferns and blossoms and fine spray of pines,
Oak-leaf and acorn and fantastic vines,
Which she will make when summer comes again–
Quaint arabesques in argent, flat and cold,
Like curious Chinese etchings."
Author: Thomas Bailey Aldrich
