“He listened to the twentieth century sparrows on his window-sill and
marvelled that he should be reading phrases that formed in a man’s mind
four hundred years ago. What a fantastic idea it would have seemed to

Shore’s wife, and wondering about him, four hundred years afterwards.”
– Josephine Tey, The Daughter of Time, p. 90
“There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
– Hamlet, Act 1, scene 5, 159–167
