Wheresoe’er they move, before them Swarms the stinging fly, the Ahmo, Swarms the bee, the honey-maker; Wheresoe’er they tread, beneath them Springs a flower unknown among us, Springs the White-man’s Foot in blossom.
The Song Of Hiawatha Henry W. Longfellow 1991

Far from the Madding Crowd Thomas Hardy 1992
