One work in this form states, "Gentlemen prefer bound feet and a wasp waist," noting, "A girl can't go on laughing all the time." Another work in this form states, "How safe I felt.../Rich that your grace safely by heart I knew," and begins, "It is the pain, it is the pain endures." The poet of "Reflection from Anita Loos", William Empson, was credited with reviving this poetic form, and another poem in this form states, "There must be reasons why the leaves decay," but "Time only knows the price we have to pay." In addition to that poem by Auden, another work in this form ends with the poet being told to "Write it!" and mentions "my mother's watch", "two cities", "some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent", as among the things that "seem filled with the intent/to be lost". In addition to Elizabeth Bishop's "One Art", another work in this form discusses men who "see with blinding sight" and whose "frail deeds might have danced in a green bay", and repeats the line, "Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
