"Snufkin got a feeling that he wanted to write songs. The faint whisper of rain and running water was there, and the same tender note of solitude and perfection. He listened and waited. He went on waiting without getting impatient because he knew what tunes were like. They had to come completely naturally as notes do when they have been left in peace. Now the time had come to take them out and let them become a song about rain."

My "favourite" thing about this study is the part where achaeologists who found hunting tools/weapons in women's graves assumed they were kitchen implements.

Like, "well Hans, in this woman's grave, we found what inscriptions at the time have named the Flail of Vengeance. As of right now, we are not sure to what culinary task this tool was turned, but conjecture that it was possibly the preparation of small pies."
