Emily Dickinson, Poem 544, circa 1862:
    The Martyr Poets -- did not tell --
    But wrought their Pang in syllable --
    That when their mortal name be numb --
    Their mortal fate -- encourage Some --

    The Martyr Painters -- never spoke --
    Bequeathing -- rather -- to their Work --
    That when their conscious fingers cease --
    Some seek in Art -- the Art of Peace --

 
To say Noggle, one first must be able to say the "Nah."
