To sustain them with pride.
And from room to vacant room,
They walked behind the tour guide!

The Museum of Nothing.
And people came in the Winter,

Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can't take it in all at once.

We pass the boundary of our science museums.
