"Suns, huts, attacks, the
striking teeth
It is they who lead
us..."
--Robot X
"Most forgeries last only a few generations, because they're so carefully done in the taste of the period, a forged Rembrandt, for instance, confirms everything that that period sees in Rembrandt. Taste and style change, and the forgery is painfully obvious, dated, because the new period has discovered Rembrandt all over again, and of course discovered him to be quite different. That is the curse any genuine article must endure." --The Recognitions
"...A people prone and haggard
Beheld their lightnings hurled:
All round, like Sinai, staggered
The sceptre-shaken world..."
--A E Housman
The Prisoner of Highland Park.
