„Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.“
— William Shakespeare, Cymbeline
Guiderius, Act IV, scene ii.
Cymbeline (1610)
„How dispiriting I find it, even after all my personal triumphs, that we must grow up and grow sad, that we must age, weaken, and in time go home to our long home in the ground, and that even golden lads and girls all must, as chimney sweepers, come to dust.“

The Legend of Jubal (1869)
Kontext: New voices come to me where'er I roam,
My heart too widens with its widening home:
But song grows weaker, and the heart must break
For lack of voice, or fingers that can wake
The lyre's full answer; nay, its chords were all
Too few to meet the growing spirit's call.
The former songs seem little, yet no more
Can soul, hand, voice, with interchanging lore
Tell what the earth is saying unto me:
The secret is too great, I hear confusedly.
„We all must wake up because this is a time to arise from slumber and make our dream come true.“

„We are the earth his word must sow like wheat
And, if it finds no earth, it cannot grow.“
— Stephen Vincent Benét poet, short story writer, novelist 1898 - 1943
Innkeeper's wife
A Child is Born (1942)
Kontext: We are the earth his word must sow like wheat
And, if it finds no earth, it cannot grow.
We are his earth, the mortal and the dying,
Led by no star — the sullen and the slut,
The thief, the selfish man, the barren woman,
Who have betrayed him once and will betray him,
Forget his words, be great a moment's space
Under the strokes of chance,
And then sink back into our small affairs.
And yet, unless we go, his message fails.
— Muriel Spark, buch The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
