"A hunter of shadows, himself a shade." ~Homer

"I have figured for you the distance between the horns of a dilemma,
night and day,
and A and Z.
I have computed how far is Up,
how long it takes to get Away,
and what becomes of Gone.
I have discovered the length of the sea serpent,
the price of priceless,
and the square of the hippopotamus.
I know where you are when you are at Sixes and Sevens,
how much Is you have to have to make an Are,
and how many birds you can catch with the salt in the ocean - 187,796,132,
if it would interest you."

"I went to the woods
because
I wished to live
deliberately,
to front
only the essential
facts
of life,
and see
if I could not learn
what it had
to teach,
and not,
when I came to die,
discover that I had not
lived."

~Henry David Thoreau
