    And who in time knowes whither we may vent
    The treasure of our tongue, to what strange shores
    This gaine of our best glorie shal be sent,
    T’inrich unknowing Nations with our stores?
    What worlds in th’yet unformed Occident
    May come refin’d with th’accents that are ours?
    —Samuel Daniel (c. 1562–1619)

    Is thy home European or Asian,
    O mystical monster marine?
    —Arthur Clement Hilton (1851–1877)

    What makes some internal feature of a thing a representation could only its role in regulating the behavior of an intentional system.
    —Daniel Clement Dennett (b. 1942)
