Save we excavate our mettle from ` neath dread and death.— THE PEACE TREE
At the close he would sink his voice to a low muttering, just murmuring impressively, "be-neath the wave!"— John Forster

Suddenly, Sir Jocelyn wheeled his charger and galloped along Mortain's front, his rich armour glittering, until he halted at the head of that knightly company posted upon the left Meantime, Black Ivo's archers advancing, fell into arrow formation and began to ply the Mortain ranks with clouds of shafts and bolts 'neath which divers men and horses fell--what time Black Ivo's massed columns moved slowly forward to the attack--yet Duke Beltane, sitting among his knights, stirred not, and the army of Mortain abode very silent and still.— Beltane the Smith
Strip me of what in voiceless thought Life's kept of life, unhoped, unsought Reverie and dream that memory must Hide deep in dust This only I say: Though cold and bare The haunted house you have chosen to share, Still 'neath its walls the moonbeam goes And trembles on the untended rose; Still o'er its broken roof-tree rise The starry arches of the skies; And 'neath your lightest word shall be The thunder of an ebbing sea THE GHOST Who knocks?'— Georgian Poetry 1916-17 Edited by Sir Edward Howard Marsh
