from The Book of the World
But silly we (like foolish children) rest
Well pleased with coloured vellum, leaves of gold,
Fair dangling ribbons, leaving what is best,
On the great writer's sense ne'er taking hold;
Or if by chance our minds do muse on ought
It is some picture in the margin wrought.
– William Drummond of Hawthornden (1623)
