The Eagle, Tennyson
He clasps the crag with crooked hands; Close to the sun in lonely lands, Ring’d with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls; He watches from his mountain walls, And like a thunderbolt he falls.
The Silver Swan
The silver Swan, who, living, had no Note, when Death approached, unlocked her silent throat. Leaning her breast upon the reedy shore, thus sang her first and last, and sang no more: “Farewell, all joys! O Death, come close mine eyes! More Geese than Swans now live, more Fools than Wise.

— Nereus appears to have been the personification of the sea in its calm and placid moods and was after Poseidon the most important...

Second Hand Cigarettes
Just seen a man walking down the street, scouring the pavement for discarded, trodden down and used cigarette butts, and trying to smoke them. There is no greater testament to the human body’s tenacity and resilience in the face of its own terminal mortality than this.

Hlade's Law
A toothpaste factory had a problem: they sometimes shipped empty boxes, without the tube inside. This was due to the way the production line was set up, and people with experience in designing production lines will tell you how difficult it is to have everything happen with timings so precise that every single unit coming out of it is perfect 100% of the time.
