• The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, by T. S. Eliot

  I should have been a pair of ragged claws
  Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.

• Exposure, by Seamus Heaney
  

  I am neither internee nor informer;
  An inner émigré, grown long-haired
  And thoughtful; a wood-kerne
  
  Escaped from the massacre
