Gentle Sir Philip Sidney, thou knew'st what belong'd to a scholler; thou knew'st what pains, what toil, what travail conduct to perfection.

Mimosa Pudica
I remember seeing these as a kid growing up. Even in our yard!

This plant in the Philippines was called "hiya" which means "shy." I remember showing this to you guys even in our tiny yards. Did not know that it was a mimosa plant.
"I am grown at length to see into the vanity of the world more than ever I did, and now I condemn myself for nothing so much as playing the dolt in print . . . . There is nothing that if a man list he may not wrest or pervert. I cannot forbid any to think villainously, Sed caveat emptor, let the interpreter beware; for none ever heard me make allegories of an idle text."
