| The Zulu adages "Dreams are our eyes in the night" and
"Those who do not hear the voice of their ancestors are like trees
without roots" heralded a varied collection of carved wooden
headrests. Whatever you choose to call them--mottoes, axioms, adages, annoying

(either recorded or imagined), and meaningless adages. |
