    There, full in notes, to ravish all
    My Earth, I wonder what to call
    My dullness; when
    I heare thee, prettie Creature, bring
    Thy better odes of Praise, and Sing,
    To puzzle men:
    Poore pious Elfe!
    I am instructed by thy harmonie,
    To sing the Time’s uncertaintie,
    Safe in my Selfe.
    —George Daniel (1616–1657)

    Strange beauty, eight-limbed and eight-handed
    Whence camest to dazzle our eyes?
    —Arthur Clement Hilton (1851–1877)

    What makes some internal feature of a thing a representation could only its role in regulating the behavior of an intentional system.
    —Daniel Clement Dennett (b. 1942)
