Diurnal primates with a big visual cortex. Jonathan Swift in the doll house; Swift in the sky with diamonds; Jonathan Swift on the pot. The proton's parts that can't be parted. Practicing a lifetime, the violinist who became the world's greatest player of a single note. Laughter. Six orders of magnitude that cover the domain of familiarity. Scales (not bathroom, snake, balance, disease, mineral, wage, or pitch). A grain of sand. The still gleaming hand cut 1000 years ago from a sheet of mica. |
