Answer 3

W.B. Yeats, The Stare's Nest by my Window-

"We had fed the heart on fantasies,

The hearts grown brutal from the fare;

More substance in our enmities

Than in our love;"

Or Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet Act One, Scene One

"... enemies to peace,

Profaners of this neighbour-stained steel,--

Will they not hear? What, ho! you men, you beasts,

That quench the fire of your pernicious rage

With purple fountains issuing from your veins,

On pain of torture, from those bloody hands

Throw your mistemper'd weapons to the ground.."
