    “It’s the old captain’s dark fate
    Who failed to find or force a strait
    In its two-thousand-mile coast;

    And nothing came of all he sailed.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “The mountain sheep are sweeter,
    But the valley sheep are fatter;

    To carry off the latter.”
