“We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
They call it easing the Spring.”
—Henry Reed (1914–1986)

—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
“The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative.”
