    Commas in The New Yorker fall with the precision of knives in a circus act, outlining the victim.

    For there the mystical brotherhood
    Of sun and moon and hollow and wood
    And river and stream work out their will....

    How old the world is! I walk between two eternities.... What is my fleeting existence in comparison with that decaying rock, that valley digging its channel ever deeper, that forest that is tottering and those great masses above my head about to fall? I see the marble of tombs crumbling into dust; and yet I don’t want to die!
    Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
