<div>How often do I see in our profession <br />
Learning a mere extraneous possession, <br />
A self-sufficient mass of dates and sources <br />
Rolled round in academe’s diurnal courses, <br />
Where scholars prepare scholars, not for life <br />
But gaudy footnotes and a threadbare wife— <br />
Keen eyes for errors in a worthless text, <br />
But none at all for this world or the next. . . <br />
Oh, that our living literature could be <br />
Our sustenance, not archaeology! <br />
<br />
Robert Hillyer, classic lines from “A Letter to James B. Munn”<br />
<br />
<br />
There once was a lady named Bright,<br />
who could travel faster than the speed of light,<br />
she departed one day,<br />
in a relative way,<br />
and arrived the previous night<br />
