“They ... fleet the time carelessly, as they did in the golden world.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Different persons growing up in the same language are like different bushes trimmed and trained to take the shape of identical elephants. The anatomical details of twigs and branches will fulfill the elephantine form differently from bush to bush, but the overall outward results are alike.”
