No, not the Greek Ten Thousand, although that is a great story.
I have often quoted the Taoist–proverb, can I call it?–“the ten thousand things rise and fall without ceasing.” You might say it is a motto of mine, like “que sera sera” (however you spell it).
Can I add that the ten thousand legs move forward and back without ceasing? And who looks back when they are moving forward? Forward, when they are moving back?
You might doubt me, you might and probably should laugh at me, but I am approaching lucidity.
