"The bleak wind of March
Made her tremble and shiver;
But not the dark arch,
Or the black flowing river:
Mad from life's history,
Glad to death's mystery,
Swift to be hurl'd—
Anywhere, anywhere
Out of the world!"
Thomas Hood, "The Bridge of Sighs" (1844)

“My granddaughter...was raised in this apartment. I used to walk her to school,” Mr. Abraham said. “I loved the idea of charting her growth, and she was very excited about being stood up here and measured.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I almost named our daughter after Meta Berger, but my wife (a Wisconsinite!) nixed it.

George Frederick Watts, "The Dweller in the Innermost" (1886): "Conscience ... seated facing, within a glow of light; on her forehead she bears a shining star, and on her lap lie the arrows that pierce through all disguise, and the trumpet which proclaims truth to the world’."
