    “A lady dying of diabetes
    Listened to the radio,
    Catching the lesser dithyrambs.
    So heaven collects its bleating lambs.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    ““Who are you,” said the caterpillar.
    This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, “I—I hardly know, Sir, just at present—at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have changed several times since then.””
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
