"The task of every other slave has an end. The rower in time reaches the port; the lexicographer at last finds the conclusion of the alphabet; only the hapless wit has its labour always to begin, the call for novelty is never satisfied, and one jest only raises expectation of another." --The Rambler, 141.
"..and every Maori to this day knows the name of the canoe his ancestors arrived in." --Avram Davidson, Adventures in Unhistory (1993)
