“... the intellect, everywhere invasive, shows everywhere its shallowing effect.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“it was older sure than this year’s cutting,
Or even last year’s or the year’s before.
The wood was gray and the bark warping off it
And the pile somewhat sunken. Clematis
Had wound strings round and round it like a bundle.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
