Is it a fact--or have I dreamt it--that by means of                
            electricity, the world of matter has become a great                
            nerve, vibrating thousands of miles in a breathless                
            point of time?                                                     
                                                                               
            -- Nathaniel Hawthorne, The House of the Seven Gables
