In poetry:
For a chance to make your little much,
To gain a lover and lose a friend,
Venture the tree and a myriad such,
When nothing you mar but the year can mend:
But a last leaf—-fear to touch!

She hath hushed my rancour of council,
Bidding me praise

Gleams Porto Venere the fair,
The mockery of a name.
Where fervent Venus once was Queen,
Hot Mars now ravishes the scene,
And fans a fiercer flame.
"At Shelley’s House At Lerici" by Alfred Austin
To make some thing: the old want dark and deep,
The thirst of men, the hunger of the stars,
Since first it tinged even the Eternal's sleep,
With monstrous dreams of trees and towns and mars.
"Another Tattered Rhymster In The Ring" by Gilbert Keith Chesterton
The silken softness of your hair
Where faint bronze shadows are,
Your strangely slight and youthful air,
No passions seem to mar,--
Oh, why, since Fate has made you fair,
Must Fortune keep you far?
"Three Songs Of Zahir-u-Din" by Laurence Hope
It is under the small, dim, summer star.
I know not who these mute folk are
Who share the unlit place with me—
Those stones out under the low-limbed tree
Doubtless bear names that the mosses mar.

In science:
This problem is very timely, as it is also confirmed by the very recent exam by Mar´ın-Franch et al. (2009b) of the influence, of CNO and helium variations, on the relative age determination of GCs, purely from a theoretical point of view.
The influence of the C+N+O abundances on the determination of the relative ages of Globular Clusters: the case of NGC 1851 and NGC 6121 (M4)
Let us look at the final comparison between the two clusters under discussion in the analysis of De Angeli et al. (2005) and Mar´ın-Franch et al. (2009a) summarized in Table 1.
The influence of the C+N+O abundances on the determination of the relative ages of Globular Clusters: the case of NGC 1851 and NGC 6121 (M4)
Here we report the result for the Carretta & Gratton (1997) abundances, and for the models by Cassisi et al. (2004) in De Angeli, and by Dotter et al. (2007) in Mar´ın-Franch.
The influence of the C+N+O abundances on the determination of the relative ages of Globular Clusters: the case of NGC 1851 and NGC 6121 (M4)
The comparison in Figs. 1 and 2 has shown that the two clusters we are considering may differ in age by about 2 Gyr (as found by Mar´ın-Franch et al. 2009a).

The eigenvalue density of the matrix (1/T )ξ ξ T is known to converge to the Marˇcenko-Pastur law ρ∗ (λ) = p(λ+ − λ)(λ − λ− )/(2πrλ), where λ± = (1 ± r)2 and r = N/T in the limit N → ∞, r = const [Mar67].
Heavy-tailed random matrices
We use the method of moments to show that for k > 1 the largest eigenvalue is still approximately (1+pp/dk )2 and the spectral density approaches that of the Marˇcenko-Pastur law, generalizing the random matrix theory result to the random tensor case.
Random tensor theory: extending random matrix theory to random product states
Our asymptotic estimates for em p,d,k also imply that the limiting spectral density of Mp,d,k is given by the MarˇcenkoPastur law, just as was previously known for the k = 1 case.
Random tensor theory: extending random matrix theory to random product states
Consequently, the aforementioned results in the literature can be rederived rather simply using the formulas in Section 2 by substituting µX with the semicircle measure (for Wigner matrices), the Marˇcenko-Pastur measure (for Wishart matrices) or the free Jacobi measure (for Jacobi matrices ).
The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of finite, low rank perturbations of large random matrices
Any historical estimator is inevitably marred by the measurement noise; it will reflect the true covariances only to a certain degree, with a superimposed broadening due to the finiteness of the time series.

On the other hand, because of the weak temporal dependence of the MAR(3) processes, this influence decreases fast as the lags increase.
Conditional Sampling for Spectrally Discrete Max-Stable Random Fields
There has been special interest in the (2, 3, 7)-triangle group, also known as the Hurwitz group (see [Con] and the references therein), but considerable attention has been paid to other triangle groups as well (see [Mar] and the references therein).
Beauville surfaces and finite simple groups
In this connection, [Mar] has some intriguing and suggestive results.

However, other limiting distributions do appear in the theory: for example, the Wishart matrices themselves (i.e., without the partial transposition) converge to the so-called Marčenko–Pastur law (see section 2.3).
