From Prof. Oddfellow's sketchbook:
J explains: "Hope asserts in passing that 'there are generally two ways anywhere'—which might be a dull observation if it were strictly a metaphor, but which in context he means literally (if perhaps not only literally). So, yes, there are generally not three, not one, but exactly two ways to get from a given point A to a given point B on the map" (personal correspondence, May 1, 2013). The Anthony Hope quotation appears in Frivolous Cupid.

Here's a precursor to T. S. Eliot's Four Quartets (1943): We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
The caption of this illustration from The Quiver (1886) reads, "Again at the old place I stand."

The (seemingly improbable) fourth side of a triangle, identified in this comic panel from Punch (1871), wasn't officially measured until 1993 by the University of Adelaide's B. F. Sherman ( Mathematics Magazine, Vol. 66, No. 5). |

"I had been dreaming a crowded dream full of unfamiliar characters—people I hadn't had time, or whom it hadn't seemed necessary, to name or even make distinct from one another. It was a mob, practically, but its intent was unclear. For what purpose had they congregated?" — Rebecca Wolff, The Beginners (2011) This depiction of a crowded dream is from Punch, 1893. |
