    “In my utter impotence to test the authenticity of the report of my senses, to know whether the impressions they make on me correspond with outlying objects, what difference does it make, whether Orion is up there in heaven, or some god paints the image in the firmament of the soul?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “So in peace our tasks we ply,
    Pangur Ban, my cat, and I;
    In our arts we find our bliss,
    I have mine and he has his.”
    —Unknown. Pangur Ban (l. 25–28)

    And famine grew, and locusts came;
    Great is the hand that holds dominion over
    Man by a scribbled name.”
