    Such is our pride, our folly, or our fate,
    That few but such as cannot write, translate.
    John, Sir Denham (1615–1669)

    Ideas are so much flat psychological surface unless some mirrored matter gives them cognitive lustre. This is why as a pragmatist I have so carefully posited ‘reality’ ab initio, and why throughout my whole discussion, I remain an epistemologist realist.
    —William James (1842–1910)
