    “If the upper beams are not straight, the lower beams will be crooked.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “But before the extremity of the Cape had completely sunk, it appeared like a filmy sliver of land lying flat on the ocean, and later still a mere reflection of a sand-bar on the haze above. Its name suggests a homely truth, but it would be more poetic if it described the impression which it makes on the beholder.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
