    Weep on, ye springs, your tearful tide;
    How many heroes are no more!”
    —Philip Freneau (1752–1832)

    “In sci-fi convention, life-forms that hadn’t developed space travel were mere prehistory—horse-shoe crabs of the cosmic scene—and something of the humiliation of being stuck on a provincial planet in a galactic backwater has stayed with me ever since.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    “and the words never said,
    And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.
    We sat in the car park till twenty to one
    And now I’m engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.”
