A Verb Has A Hard Time Enough Of It In This World When Its All Together.

A verb has a hard time enough of it in this world when its all together. It's
downright inhuman to split it up. But that's just what those Germans do. They
take part of a verb and put it down here, like a stake, and they take the other
part of it and put it away over yonder like another stake, and between these
two limits they just shovel in German.
-- Mark Twain (1835-1910)
