    When winter snows upon thy sable hairs,
    And frost of age hath nipped thy beauties near;

    And all lies withered that was held so dear,
    Then take this picture which I here present thee,
    Limned with a pencil not all unworthy;
    —Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

    In the beginning was the secret brain.
    The brain was celled and soldered in the thought
