Tartuffe (1664)
“He saw her from the bottom of the stairs
Before she saw him.”
Robert Frost (1874–1963) American poet
Home Burial (1915)
Context: He saw her from the bottom of the stairs
Before she saw him. She was starting down,
Looking back over her shoulder at some fear.
She took a doubtful step and then undid it
To raise herself and look again. He spoke
Advancing toward her: "What is it you see
From up there always?—for I want to know."
Julian of Norwich (1342–1416) English theologian and anchoress

“All that we saw or heard was beautiful
And hardly human.”
Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962) American poet
"The Last Conservative"
Context: The rock-cheeks have red fire-stains.
But the place was maiden, no previous
Building, no neighbors, nothing but the elements,
Rock, wind, and sea; in moon-struck nights the mountain
Coyotes howled in our dooryard; or doe and fawn
Stared in the lamplit window, We raised two boys here
All that we saw or heard was beautiful
And hardly human. Oh heavy change.
The world deteriorates like a rotting apple, worms and a skin.
They have built streets around us, new houses
Line them and cars obsess them — and my dearest has died.
The ocean at least is not changed at all, Cold, grim, and faithful; and I still keep a hard edge of forest
Haunted by long gray squirrels and hoarse herons.
Hillary Clinton (1947) American politician, senator, Secretary of State, First Lady
