"Between the idea…And the reality…Between the motion…And the act…Falls the Shadow." - T. S. Eliot

"A hunch is creativity trying to tell us something." - Frank Capra

Nature's first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf's a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay.

- Robert Frost
