(Delivered at the 99th Ordinary Meeting of the Society for General Microbiology at Reading on 4 January 1984)*
THE ELEPHANT, OR THE FORCE OF HABIT
A tail behind, a trunk in front,
Complete the usual elephant.
A tail in front, a trunk behind,
Is what you very seldom find.
If you for specimens should hunt
With trunks behind and tails in front,
That hunt would occupy you long;
The force of habit is so strong.
(A. E. Housman, from A. E. H. by Laurence Housman; Jonathan Cape)
