When you wander, as you often delight to do, you wander indeed, and
give never such satisfaction as the curious time requires. This is
not caused by any natural defect, but first for want of election,
when you, having a large and fruitful mind, should not so much labour
what to speak as to find what to leave unspoken. Rich soils are often
to be weeded.
-- Francis Bacon (1561-1626)
-- Letter of Expostulation to Coke
