There’s man all over for you, blaming on his boots the faults of his feet.
Samuel BeckettEstragon: We always find something, eh Didi, to give us the impression we exist?

It seems to me that an often quiet, but often palpable presiding image here... is the interpretive absorption of the child or adolescent whose sense of personal queerness may or may not (yet?) have resolved... Such a child - if she reads at all - is reading for important news about herself, without knowing what form that news will take; with only the patchiest familiarity with its codes; without, even, more than hungrily hypothesizing to what questions this news may proffer an answer.

It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—

Holding a little pool
Left there by the tide,
A little tepid pool,
Drying inward from the edge.

We were so wholly one I had not thought
That we could die apart. I had not thought
That I could move,—and you be stiff and still!
That I could speak,—and you perforce be dumb!
I think our heart-strings were, like warp and woof
In some firm fabric, woven in and out;
Your golden filaments in fair design
Across my duller fibre.

Richard BachThe creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
