“The hapless Nymph with wonder saw:
A whisker first and then a claw,
With many an ardent wish,

What female heart can gold despise?
What Cat’s averse to fish?”

“In strict science, all persons underlie the same condition of an infinite remoteness. Shall we fear to cool our love by mining for the metaphysical foundation of this elysian temple? Shall I not be as real as the things I see? If I am, I shall not fear to know them for what they are.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
