’Tis strange, but true; for truth is always strange,
Stranger than fiction. If it could be told,
How much would fiction gain by the exchange!
How differently the world would men behold!”—Byron.
With caution judge of probability,
Things deemed unlikely, e’en impossible,
Experience oft hath proven to be true.”—Shakspeare.
