    “He will to his Egyptian dish again.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Nature, hating art and pains,
    Baulks and baffles plotting brains;
    Casualty and Surprise
    Are the apples of her eyes;
    But she dearly loves the poor,
    And, by marvel of her own,
    Strikes the loud pretender down.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
