    In the Paleozoic time,
    And side by side, on the ebbing tide,
    We sprawled through the ooze and slime,
    Or skittered with many a caudal flip
    Through the depths of the Cambrian fen,
    My heart was rife with the joy of life,
    For I loved you even then.”
    —Langdon Smith (1858–1908)

    “Since the fin has come a little early this siecle and anomie is all the rage, wry, dry tenderness is a suspect commodity.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)
