    “While it may not heighten our sympathy, wit widens our horizons by its flashes, revealing remote hidden affiliations and drawing laughter from far afield; humor, in contrast, strikes up fellow feeling, and though it does not leap so much across time and space, enriches our insight into the universal in familiar things, lending it a local habitation and a name.”
    —Marie Collins Swabey. Comic Laughter, ch. 5, Yale University Press (1961)

    “Flower sent to flower;
    for white hands, the lesser white,
    less lovely of flower leaf.”
