    Wonderful invention, the phonograph. Keeps a man alive long after he’s dead.

    The workers’ flats in fields of soya beans
    Tower up like silver pencils, score on score.
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

    It has come to be practically a sort of rule in literature, that a man, having once shown himself capable of original writing, is entitled thenceforth to steal from the writings of others at discretion. Thought is the property of him who can entertain it; and of him who can adequately place it. A certain awkwardness marks the use of borrowed thoughts; but, as soon as we have learned what to do with them, they become our own.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
