I've just had two Bradbury Moments in one day! The first came when I was listening to a number of recordings by Tommy Makem on YouTube. He read "The Song of Wandering Aengus" by Irish poet William Butler Yeats and all of a sudden the phrase "the golden apples of the sun" jumped out. If I knew that was a quote at all I'd forgotten, and I certainly didn't know it was from that poem; it was unexpected.

The second came in an episode of a TV series I am watching, a short-lived production called Mr. Lucky. This episode was from 1960. Much of it took place at a carnival and the first scene in that setting featured a little man (played by Billy Barty, and billed as a midget, not a dwarf) standing in front of a distorting mirror that stretched him out tall. I just had to say, "They stole that from Ray Bradbury!"
