Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”

Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Environed me, and howled in mine ears
Such hideous cries that with the very noise
I trembling waked, and for a season after
Could not believe but that I was in hell,
Such terrible impression made my dream.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
