That matters more than it sounds. Across all three phases you are +going to keep coming back to this same text, which means the poem is never the +new thing you are learning. The git is. + +Read line 12 again once you have finished Phase 3. Shakespeare is claiming that +writing something down is what keeps it alive. That is also, more or less, what +a commit is. +Written by Aara Jaiswal
