    Some natural tears they dropped, but wiped them soon;

    Through Eden took their solitary way.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    All the oxygen of the world was in them.
    All the feet of the babies of the world were in them.
    All the crotches of the angels of the world were in them.
    All the morning kisses of Philadelphia were in them.
