1. On the eves of St.John and St. Peter, pandemonium seems to have broken loose on the town. Youths parade the streets with burning torches, which they swing around their heads with a peculiar circular motion. Some of these are of considerable weight, and they require much exertion and no small skill to keep them from approaching near the body of the bearer. Thus twisting and wriggling along, with the fitful blaze of the torch reflecting on his or her features (for both sexes mingle in the sport), the whole bay seems to be lit up and present a most splendid and brilliant illumination. For the information of the uninitiated, we will in a few words describe this finish of the evening’s amusement. The line is formed without any regard to the number engaged, excepting to keep in mind the old proverb of “the more the merrier”. The two individuals at the upper end then hold high their hands, and the whole party, beginning with the opposite extremity rush quickly through; this of course reverses their position and it is now the turn of those who first held up their hands, to be the leaders of the thread. Thus altering, rush after rush takes place, with shouts and laughter, until weariness compels them to desist. A Guide to Penzance and its Neighbourhoods, J S Courtney, 1845

2. Because they were not consciously appointed, when they had fulfilled their purpose neither where they consciously overthrown. Nor was any particular gratitude shown by the members to a leader either at the time of her services or afterwards. They followed her guidance as long as it was helpful and what they wanted. They melted away from her without regrets when some widening of experience beckoned them on to fresh adventure, which would in turn throw up its spontaneous leader. Anarchy in Action, Colin Ward, George Allen and Uwin Ltd, 1973

3. It had no need of eyes, for there was nothing outside it to be seen; nor of ears, for there was nothing outside to be heard. There was no surrounding air to be breathed, nor was it in need of any organ by which to supply itself with food or to get rid of it when digested. Nothing went out from or came into it anywhere, for there was nothing. Of design it was made thus, its own waste providing its own food, acting and being acted upon entirely with and by itself, because its designer considered that a being which was sufficient unto itself would be far more excellent than one which depended upon anything. Plato, Timaeus (33 – The Construction of the World)

An Eye An Arch A Bridge They are forming a line with as great a number as possible (they are running through the streets calling 'an eye an eye an eye!'). They are stopping, and the first two at the leading end are raising their arms in an arch. The member at the other end of the line is moving through the arch, leading the others behind her. They are 'threading the needle' and once through, the situation is reversed so that those at the rear of the line are now leading the procession.
