    Do you ne'er think what wondrous beings these?
    Do you ne'er think who made them, and who taught
    The dialect they speak, where melodies
    Alone are the interpreters of thought?
    Whose household words are songs in many keys,
    Sweeter than instrument of man e'er caught!
    - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,
