Quotation with: "chain"
"O, hark! what mean those yells and cries?
His chain some furious madman breaks;
He comes–I see his glaring eyes:
Now, now, my dungeon grate he shakes.
Help! Help! He's gone!–O fearful woe,
Such screams to hear, such sights to see!
My brain, my brain,–I know, I know
I am not mad but soon shall be."
Author: Matthew Gregory Lewis ("Monk Lewis")

Tell me how many beads there are
In a silver chain
Of evening rain
Unravelled from the trembling main
And threading the eye of a yellow star:–
So many time do I love again."

argument both ways. If the prisoner is happy, why lock him in?
If he is not, why pretend that he is?"
Author: George Bernard Shaw

Still to my brother turns, with ceaseless pain,
And drags at each remove a lengthening chain."
Author: Oliver Goldsmith
