1. Kaléidoscope.
   • "It’s like a thing I got for Christmas seventy years ago—don’t know if you ever had one—they called them kaleidoscopes: bits of crystal and cloth and beads and pretty junk. You held it up to the sunlight and looked in through at it, and it took your breath away. All the patterns!" — (Ray Bradbury, The Martian Chronicles, 1950, éd. 2008, ISBN 9780006479239)
