[careful writing appears on the Vine, slowly, a pause after each line. The writer is copying it down from a book, after all.]


If recollecting were forgetting,
Then I remember not.
And if forgetting, recollecting,
How near I had forgot.
And if to miss, were merry,
And to mourn, were gay,
How very blithe the fingers
That gathered this, Today!


[with that, the handwriting grows more confident and natural again, continuing further down the page.]


I found this in a book in the library...and a lot of other things like it. Is it some kind of puzzle? What does it mean?

You... don't know what a poem is?

Oh... umm... well... [insert coherent explanation here.]

Yeah, it definitely is.

I'm not a big fan of poetry though...
