"Illusion, Temperament, Succession, Surface, Surprise, Reality, Subjectiveness, -these are threads on the loom of time, these are the lords of life. I dare not assume to give their order, but I name them as I find them in my way. I know better than to claim any completeness for my picture. I am a fragment and this is a fragment of me."
Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Experience"
