    Language is a living thing. We can feel it changing. Parts of it become old: they drop off and are forgotten. New pieces bud out, spread into leaves, and become big branches, proliferating.
    Gilbert Highet (1906–1978)

    the ache here in the throat,
    To know that I so ill deserve the place
    Her arms make for me;
    —James Whitcomb Riley (1849–1916)
