    Under Ben Bulben to the meet,

    With all youth’s lonely wildness stirred,

    Like any rock-bred, sea-borne bird....”

    “Within the university ... you can study without waiting for any efficient or immediate result. You may search, just for the sake of searching, and try for the sake of trying.

    —Jacques Derrida (b. 1930)
