[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?

Uhhh... wow, let's see...

D'you at least know plays?

Wow, um... You really were deprived. Anyway...

Movies are like, uh, stories, that people act out, and they're recorded so other people can watch them whenever.

Plays are that, only not recorded.

Mostly. There's some extra details and all, but that's the basic, uh, gist.

Yeah, pretty much.

No problem. Someone's gotta help get you caught up on things. Well, caught up to things where I'm from, anyway.
