“If the oarsmen of a fast-moving ship suddenly cease to row, the suspension of the driving force of the oars doesn’t prevent the vessel from continuing to move on its course. And with a speech it is much the same. After he has finished reciting the document, the speaker will still be able to maintain the same tone without a break, borrowing its momentum and impulse from the passage he has just read out.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C)
“I dwell in a lonely house I know
That vanished many a summer ago....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Anybody who enjoys being in the House of Commons probably needs psychiatric care.”
