"I have heard New Englanders say that they have an affinity for Box{wood} -- that it exerts power like a hereditary memory, and affects them with an almost hypnotic force. This is not felt by everyone, but only by those who have loved Box for centuries, in the persons of their ancestors.''

-- Eleanor Early, from A New England Sampler
