"''I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made; Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight's all a-glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet's wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear the water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray, I hear it in the deep heart's core.''"

- William Butler Yeats, The Lake Isle of Innisfree

"Well, you took me in, you stole my heart, I cannot roam no more. Because love, it stays within you, It does not wash up on a shore. But a fighting man forgets each cut Each knock, each bruise, each fall, But a fighting man cannot forget Why his love don't roam no more."

- Love Don't Roam, Doctor Who
