    O you sand,
    this is my command,

    An individual is an encloser. Time and space, liberty and necessity, truth and thought, are left at large no longer.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    It all ended with the circuslike whump of a monstrous box on the ear with which I knocked down the traitress who rolled up in a ball where she had collapsed, her eyes glistening at me through her spread fingers—all in all quite flattered, I think. Automatically, I searched for something to throw at her, saw the china sugar bowl I had given her for Easter, took the thing under my arm and went out, slamming the door.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
