    One would appear ridiculous who would say, that it is only probable the sun will rise to-morrow, or that all men must die; though it is plain we have no further assurance of these facts than what experience affords us.
    —David Hume (1711–1776)

    So Eden sank to grief,
    So dawn goes down to day.
    Nothing gold can stay.
