"Words are the life of knowledge; they set free, And bring forth truth by way of midwif'ry: The activ'st creatures of the teeming brain, The judges who the inward man arraign: Reason's chief engine and artillery To batter error, and make falsehood fly; The cannons of the mind, who sometimes bounce Nothing but war, then peace again pronounce."
James Howell

January 1, 1970
