Between the discovery and the invention,
Falls the Shadow, who knows, you know,
By tracking backward, retracing the steps
Of the tourist, who comes not to conquer,
But to enjoy the winding stair to the place.

That all invention is discovery recalls the
Platonic idea that all learning is recollection.
