Rock and no water and the sandy road
The road winding above among the mountains
Which are mountains of rock without water
If there were water we should stop and drink
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think”

—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Is it that mens frayle eyes, which gaze too bold,
She may entangle in that golden snare:”
