Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 30:18-19.

 

 

 

There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: the way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.

 

From the oracle of Agur, son of Jakeh.
