| "And being now at some pause, looking back into that I have passed
through, this writing seemeth to me ("si nunquam fallit imago"),
as far as a man can judge of his own work, not much better than that noise
or sound which musicians make while they are in tuning their instruments:
which is nothing pleasant to hear, but yet is a cause why the music is
sweeter afterwards. So have I been content to tune the instruments of the
Muses, that they may play that have better hands."
-- Sir Francis Bacon, Advancement of Learning
