Ye Nymphs of Dicte, close the forest-glades,
If haply there may chance upon mine eyes
The white bull's

foot-prints: him belike
Following the herd, or by green pasture lured,
Some kine may guide to the Gortynian stalls.

Sloterdijk - Rules for the Human Zoo |

Look how the fearful felon gazes
On the scaffold his country's vengeance rạises,
When the lips are cracked and the jaws are dry
With the thirst which only in death shall die;
Mark the mariner's frenzied frown
As the swaling wherry settles down,
When peril has numbed the senses and will,
Though the hand and the foot may
struggle
still; —
Wilder far was the Abbot's glance,
Deeper far was the Abbot's trance:
Fixed as a monument, still as air,
He bent no knee, and he breathed no prayer;
But he signed — he knew not why or how-
The sign of the Cross on his clammy brow.
