My head is full of noise
My mind with stress & strain,
My heart knows no joys
My soul is full of pain.

Arthur & Owain are so engrossed in their game of Gwyddbwyll that they ignore Ravens swooping down "on the men who had previously caused them injury, pain & loss" and carrying off their heads, eyes, ears & arms behind them!

In the year Nineteen Hundred and Two,
There was great sadness and to-do.
All the world did – alack – don a pall,
To mourn poor William McGonagall
Before he was cruelly struck down,
He was a poet of great renown.
His use of rhymes was very thorough,
Until he died in Edinburgh.
There was great sadness and to-do.

And the frontispiece, of course. I also viewed Smith's copies of Hume, Burke, and Defoe. All housed at the Library of Economics here at the University of Tokyo!
