No one has expressed cynicism in poetry with more eloquence – and venom – than John Donne when he wrote a list of impossible things:

Get with child a mandrake root,


Tell me where all past years are,


Or who cleft the devil’s foot; 


Teach me to hear mermaids singing,


Or to keep off envy’s stinging,
