    “Under a spreading chestnut-tree
    The village smithy stands;
    The smith, a mighty man is he,
    With large and sinewy hands;
    And the muscles of his brawny arms
    Are strong as iron bands.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    “As far as I can see, this autumn haze
    That spreading in the evening air both ways
    Makes the new moon look anything but new
    And pours the elm-tree meadow full of blue,
    Is all the smoke from one poor house alone....”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself,
    Till by broad spreading it disperse to nought.”
