"Reason, in itself confounded,
Saw division grow together,
To themselves yet either neither,
Simple were so well compounded. " (41-44)
- William Shakespeare
Anapestic Tetrameter
"On the far-away island of Sala-ma-Sond,
Yertle the Turtle was king of the pond.
A nice little pond. It was clean. It was neat.
The water was warm. There was plenty to eat.
The turtles had everything turtles might need.
And they were all happy. Quite happy indeed."
- Dr. Suess (Yertle the Turtle)
