Twas the night before YC deadline, when all through the valley

Creatures were stirring with excitement for the big night in Cali

Thousands of applications were typed with care

“She looked at the crowd and she felt simultaneously astonishment that they should stare at her when this event was so personally her own that no communication about it was possible and a sense of fitness that they should be here that they should want to see it.

“Rudyard Kipling, giving a commencement address at McGill University in Montreal, said there was one striking thing that deserves to be remembered about people.
