But ere the circle homeward hies Far, far must it remove: White in the moon the long road lies That leads me from my love.” ~ A. E. Housman

And it seemed still to inhabit mainly the heaven of Platonic ideals, or the equally obscure spaces of the human mind, until computers taught us how symbols could be processed by machines.” ~ Allen Newell
