On the farm the weather was the great fact, and men’s affairs went on underneath it, as the streams creep under the ice.

—Willa Cather (1873–1947)

“No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be:
Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
Advise the prince.”
