	Proverb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A proverb (from the Latin proverbium) is a saying popularly known and repeated, usually expressing simply and concretely, though often metaphorically, a truth based on common sense or the practical experience of mankind.
		Proverbs are often borrowed from different languages and cultures, and sometimes come down to the present through more than one language.
		Further typical features of the proverb are its shortness (average: seven words), and the fact that its author is generally unknown (otherwise it would be a quotation).

		Scored for three sopranos, two tenors, two vibraphones and two electric organs, "Proverb" is a spectacular piece, devoid of the pedantry of some of Reich's earlier vocal music, which sometimes relied too heavily on sampling.
		Although it is mostly meant as filler, "Nagoya Marimbas" is reminiscent of the percussive works of the 1960s, and as such is a pleasant reminder of the sheer vitality of so much of Reich's music.

	"THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE": AN AMERICAN PROVERB OF DISCONTENT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		While the idea of the two proverbs is clearly similar, it is certainly questionable to consider the "grass" text as a variant of the earlier proverb.
		There is the proverb "Hills are (look) green (blue) far away" that was recorded as early as 1887 and continues to be in use in a number of variants to the present day.
		The relatively new American proverb of the grass being always greener on the other side of the fence does express a universally experienced human character trait, and it is for this reason that it caught on so quickly after its first appearance in a popular song from 1924.
