“Nota: man is the intelligence of his soil,
The sovereign ghost. As such, the Socrates
Of snails, musician of pears, principium
And lex. Sed quæritur: is this same wig
Of things, this nincompated pedagogue,
Preceptor to the sea?”

The nightingale, if she should sing by day
When every goose is cackling, would be thought
No better a musician than the wren.”
