- V is differentiable everywhere
- The derivative V ′ is bounded everywhere
- The derivative is not Riemann-integrable.

“Literature does not exist in a vacuum. Writers as such have a definite social function exactly proportional to their ability as writers. This is their main use.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
