   • 1849, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, In Memoriam A.H.H., canto 108:

     Fiercely flies
     The blast of North and East, and ice
     Makes daggers at the sharpen’d eaves,
     And bristles all the brakes and thorns
     To yon hard crescent, as she hangs
     Above the wood which grides and clangs
     Its leafless ribs and iron horns
     Together, in the drifts that pass
     To darken on the rolling brine
     That breaks the coast.
