“O God! methinks it were a happy life,To be no better than a homely swain;To sit upon a hill, as I do now,To carve out dials quaintly, point by point,Thereby to see the minutes how they run,How many make the hour full complete;How many hours bring about the day;How many days will finish up the year;How many years a mortal man may live.”
William Shakespeare

“I've never seen this before. I really want him [Swain] here. I want to see him up on the stand, so I can cross-examine him, but I don't think he wants it.”
