Crumble
 
  Crumble like the chaff of a summer threshing-floor.
            —John Milton		  1
  Crumbled like a house of sand.
            —Ouida		  2
  Crumble like a ruined tower.
            —Charles G. D. Roberts		  3
            Crumble as a crown,
Till Cæsar driven to lair and hounded Pope
Reel breathless and drop heartless out of hope.
            —Algernon Charles Swinburne		  4
