كان لأحدهم وجهٌ جميل، وكان لاثنين أو ثلاثة سحرٌ، لكنّ السحر والوجه ذهبا سدى، لأن عشب الجبل لا يحفظ الشكل الذي استلقى عليه أرنبُ الجبل.

“One had a lovely face, And two or three had charm, But charm and face were in vain. Because the mountain grass Cannot keep the form Where the mountain hare has lain.”William Butler Yeats — The Collected Poems of W. B. Yeats (2000)
