 1.1 Lisp Lists
 ==============
 
 In Lisp, a list looks like this: ‘'(rose violet daisy buttercup)’.  This
 list is preceded by a single apostrophe.  It could just as well be
 written as follows, which looks more like the kind of list you are
 likely to be familiar with:
 
      '(rose
        violet
        daisy
        buttercup)
 
 The elements of this list are the names of the four different flowers,
 separated from each other by whitespace and surrounded by parentheses,
 like flowers in a field with a stone wall around them.
