    EPIGRAPH: pity this busy monster, manunkind, not. Progress is a comfortable disease: your victim(death and life safely beyond) plays with the bigness of his littleness— electrons deify one razorblade into a mountainrange; lenses extend unwish through curving wherewhen till unwish returns on its unself. A world of made is not a world of born—pity poor flesh and trees, poor stars and stones, but never this fine specimen of hypermagical ultraomnipotence. We doctors know a hopeless case if—listen: there’s a hell of a good universe next door; let’s go

    EPIGRAPH: you shall above all things be glad and young. For if you’re young,whatever life you wear it will become you; and if you are glad whatever’s living will yourself become. Girlboys may nothing more than boygirls need: i can entirely her only love whose any mystery makes every man’s flesh put space on;and his mind take off time that you should ever think,may god forbid and (in his mercy) your true lover spare: for that way knowledge lies, the foetal grave called progress, and negation’s dead undoom. I’d rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance
