William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream (c. 1595-96), Act III, scene 2, line 208
“
So we grew together, Like to a double cherry, seeming parted, But yet a union in partition; Two lovely berries moulded on one stem: So, with two seeming bodies, but one heart; Two of the first, like coats in heraldry, Due but to one and crowned with one crest.

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "So we grew together, Like to a double cherry, seeming parted, But yet a union in partition; Two lovely berries moulded on one stem: So, with two seeming bodies, but one heart; Two of the first, like coats in heraldry, Due but to one and crowned with one crest." in the context of "William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream (c. 1595-96), Act III, scene 2, line 208" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
