"Old & New put their stamp to everything……" — Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Old & New put their stamp to everything in Nature. The snowflake that is now falling is marked by both. The present moment gives the motion & the color of the flake: Antiquity, its form & properties. All things wear a luster which is the gift of the present & a tarnish of time."

Ralph Waldo Emerson
