      Starry starry night.
      Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
      Swirling clouds in violet haze

    • 2002 Kate Atkinson, Not the End of the World, Doubleday, →ISBN, page 203:
      Even their names hinted at a childishness they would never grow out of. When Vincent himself was grown-up, he wondered if this was why they had given their unlooked-for son such a mature name - although later still Vincent suspected that he might have been named for the Vincent Rapide motorbike. As with most things to do with Billy and Georgie, it was too late to ask.
