    “Habit is thus the enormous fly-wheel of society, its most precious conservative agent. It alone is what keeps us all within the bounds of ordinance, and saves the children of fortune from the envious uprisings of the poor.”
    —William James (1843–1916)

    With anything with soft-wooded trees
    With mounds of earthmounds
    Of pine straw will keep themselves off
    Animals by legends of their own:”
