For, ere the ships could meet by twice five leagues, We were encount'red by a mighty rock, Which being violently borne upon, Our helpful ship was Splitted in the midst; So that, in this unjust divorce of us, Fortune had left to both of us alike What to delight in, what to sorrow for.
"The-Comedy-of-Errors"
Shakespeare, William
Cabbage and cocoa palms overlook all the streets, bending above almost every structure, whether hut or public building;-everywhere you see the Splitted green of banana leaves.
"Two Years in the French West Indies"
Lafcadio Hearn
The party's double Splitted, and no man knows which way to turn himself.
"Quodlibet"
John P. Kennedy
