—William James (1842–1910)
“A rat eats, then leaves its droppings.”
—Hawaiian saying no. 85, ‘lelo No’Eau, collected, translated, and annotated by Mary Kawena Pukui, Bishop Museum Press, Hawaii (1983)
“And the case of butterflies so rich it looks
As if all summer settled there and died.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
