“In the range of things toddlers have to learn and endlessly reviewwhy you cant put bottles with certain labels in your mouth, why you have to sit on the potty, why you cant take whatever you want in the store, why you dont hit your friendsby the time we got to why you cant drop your peas, well, I was dropping a few myself.”

“But seldom the laurel wreath is seen
Unmixed with pensive pansies dark;
Theres a light and a shadow on every man
Who at last attains his lifted mark
Nursing through night the ethereal spark.
Elate he never can be;
He feels that spirits which glad had hailed his worth,
Sleep in oblivion.The shark
Glides white through the phosphorus sea.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
