ImplicationIt was a hard thing to undo this knot.The rainbow shines but only in the thoughtOf him that looks. Yet not in that alone,For who makes rainbows by invention?And many standing round a waterfallSee one bow each, yet not the same to all,But each a hand's breadth further than the
next.The sun on falling waters writes the textWhich yet is in the eye or in the thought.It was a hard thing to undo this knot. Gerard Manley Hopkins, It was a Hard Thing,Selected Poetry, ed. Catherine Phillips (Oxford UP, 1998).

Enactment and EnactionEarth has not anything to show more fair: Dull would he be of soul who could not pass by A sight so touching in its majesty; This City now doth, like a garment, wearThe beauty of the morning; silent, bare, Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lieOpen unto the fields, and to the sky; All bright and glittering in the smokeless air. Never did sun more beautifully steepIn his first splendor, valley, rock, or hill; Neer saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!The river glideth at his own sweet will: Dear God! the very houses seem asleep; And all that mighty heart is lying still!William Wordsworth, Composed upon Westminster BridgeThe Major Works, ed. Stephen Gill (Oxford UP, 2008).

We have demonstrated a tunable Cooper pair splitter device that opens the way to
studies of the entanglement of spatially separated mobile electrons. Because of itsremarkable splitting efficiency, such a device could provide a first test of the EPR
paradox in the solid state if it were implemented with ferromagnetic drain contactsand noise measurements were performed on it. (963)
