“Poor tired Tim! It’s sad for him
He lags the long bright morning through,
Ever so tired of nothing to do;”

“When the inhabitants of some sequestered island first descry the “big canoe” of the European rolling through the blue waters towards their shores, they rush down to the beach in crowds, and with open arms stand ready to embrace the strangers. Fatal embrace! They fold to their bosoms the vipers whose sting is destined to poison all their joys; and the instinctive feeling of love within their breasts is soon converted into the bitterest hate.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Proverbial wisdom counsels against risk and change. But sitting ducks fare worst of all.”
