About 410 years ago, Shakespeare wrote in The Second Part of King Henry the Fourth:

Like one that draws the model of a house

Beyond his power to build it; who, half through,

Gives o’er and leaves his part-created cost

A naked subject to the weeping clouds,

And waste for churlish winter’s tyranny.

I.iii.58..62

And a lovely addition to the landscape for the rest of us!
