An anvill Sparke, rose higher,
And in thy Temple falling, almost set
The house on fire.

Burns up the building: Lord, forbid the same.”

“The methodological advice to interpret in a way that optimizes agreement should not be conceived as resting on a charitable assumption about human intelligence that might turn out to be false. If we cannot find a way to interpret the utterances and other behaviour of a creature as revealing a set of beliefs largely consistent and true by our standards, we have no reason to count that creature as rational, as having beliefs, or as saying anything.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
“No place of grace for those who avoid the face
No time to rejoice for those who walk among noise and deny the voice”
