“This seems a long while ago, and yet it happened since Milton wrote his Paradise Lost. But its antiquity is not the less great for that, for we do not regulate our historical time by the English standard, nor did the English by the Roman, nor the Roman by the Greek....

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Dreams are toys.
Yet for this once, yea, superstitiously,
I will be squared by this.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Arthur was very small.
He was all white, like a doll
that hadn’t been painted yet.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
