“My travels history,
Wherein of antres vast and deserts idle,
Rough quarries, rocks, and hills whose heads touch heaven,
It was my hint to speaksuch was my process
And of the cannibals that each other eat,
The anthropophagi, and men whose heads
Do grow beneath their shoulders.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
