A broad and ample road, whose dust is gold, And pavement stars,--as stars to thee appear Seen in the galaxy, that milky way Which nightly as a circling zone thou seest Powder'd with stars.

Which way I fly is Hell myself am Hell.
John Milton
From haunted spring and dale Edg'd with poplar pale The parting genius is with sighing sent.
