    “My hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind,
    So flewed, so sanded; and their heads are hung
    With ears that sweep away the morning dew;
    Crook-kneed, and dewlapped like Thessalian bulls;
    Slow in pursuit, but matched in mouth like bells,
    Each under each.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Refinement’s origin:
    the remote north country’s
    rice-planting song.”
