| Akhnaton |
| | Longer Hymn to the Aton | Thy dawning is beautiful in the horizon of heaven,
O living Aton, Beginning of life! |

| Matthew Arnold |
| | Dover Beach | The sea is calm tonight.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits; - on the French coast the light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay. |
| Herbert Asquith |
| | The Volunteer | Here lies a cleark who half his life had spent |
| Wystan Hugh Auden |
| | On the Circuit | Among Pelagian travelers |
| | Funeral Blues | Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone.
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. |
