<blockquote>Humankind is flickering, displaced from itself, ecstatic, rippling and dappled with shadows. **Shadows** made not only by some other entity interacting with it, like the sun through the trees, but shadows that are an intrinsic part of the thing. | <blockquote>Humankind is flickering, displaced from itself, ecstatic, rippling and dappled with shadows. **Shadows** made not only by some other entity interacting with it, like the sun through the trees, but shadows that are an intrinsic part of the thing. |

<blockquote>The chapters build an open-ended assemblage, not a logical machine; they gesture to the so-much-more out there. They tangle with and interrupt each other—mimicking the patchiness of the world I am trying to describe.

<blockquote>[L]et us take down one of those old notebooks which we have all, at one time or another, had a passion for beginning. Most of the pages are blank, it is true; but at the beginning we shall find a certain number very beautifully covered with a strikingly legible hand-writing. Here we have written down the names of great writers in their order of merit; here we have copied out fine passages from the classics; here are lists of books to be read; and here, most interesting of all, lists of books that have actually been read, as the reader testifies with some youthful vanity by a dash of red ink. | <blockquote>[L]et us take down one of those old notebooks which we have all, at one time or another, had a passion for beginning.
