“Auld Noah was at hame wi’ them a’,
The lion and the lamb,
Pair by pair they entered the Ark
And he took them as they cam’.”

“Not so many years ago there there was no simpler or more intelligible notion than that of going on a journey. Travel—movement through space—provided the universal metaphor for change.... One of the subtle confusions—perhaps one of the secret terrors—of modern life is that we have lost this refuge. No longer do we move through space as we once did.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
