    Dappled and without horns,

    “We are little airy creatures,
    All of different voice and features:
    One of us in glass is set,
    One of us you’ll find in jet,
    T’other you may see in tin,
    And the fourth a box within;
    If the fifth you should pursue,
    It can never fly from you.”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
