Beethoven himself called it ', i.e. a circle or ring of song, and it is so written that the theme of the first song reappears as the conclusion of the last, forming a 'circle' (') – a ring in the figurative sense of a finger-ring as a love-token – rather than a 'cycle' (') in the sense of a programme or drama. This thematic revolution is also expressed in the emotion and conceit of the words.

Sedgwick's contribution was a tale of the times of Charlemagne, entitled "Le Bossu", in which she skillfully availed herself of the elements of the picturesque to be found in the customs of that warlike age, and the court of that monarch. Then came The Linwoods, or Sixty Years Since in America, in 1835. In 1836, she commenced writing in a new vein, giving a series of illustrations of common life, called The Poor Rich Man, and the Rich Poor Man. These were followed, in 1837, by Live and Let Live, and afterwards by Means and Ends, a Love Token for Children, and Stories for Young Persons.

The First Doctor did flirt with – and was accidentally engaged to – the character Cameca in The Aztecs (1964).

The Third Doctor expresses hurt feelings when his companion Jo Grant leaves him for an idealistic scientific adventurer whom she describes as "a younger version" of the Doctor (The Green Death).
