“I saw no Way-The Heavens were stitched-
I felt the Columns close-
The Earth reversed her Hemispheres-
I touched the Universe-

And back it slid-and I alone-
A Speck upon a Ball-
Went out upon Circumference-
Beyond the Dip of Bell-

Emily Dickinson

“The night is darkening round me, the wild winds blow, but a tyrant spell has bound me, and I cannot, cannot go.

The giant trees are bending, their bare boughs weighed with snow, and the storm is fast descending, and yet I cannot go.” Emily Brontë

“Sharers of a common country, They had met in deadly strife; Men who should have been as brothers madly sought each other's life.” ~ Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, 'Home , Sweet Home' in her Collected Poems.

From the answering machine messages, to the guest stars, to Mary’s incredible voice this album was a sonic standout and changed the direction of r&b. Constantly performed by me and my friends in my car during the 90s

If, like me, you’re trying to catch up on all the comics you’ve missed in 2025, this should be your first stop. The reboot of the character is excellent, the witch vibe definitely adds to the story. Also, great dialogue and phenomenal art. Looking forward to rest of Absolute series #comics

"I cannot convey the sense of abominable desolation that hung over the world. The red eastern sky, the northward blackness, the salt Dead Sea, the stony beach crawling with these foul, slow-stirring monsters"

The mud was cold and hugged his feet, reluctant to let him move. The stump lay at an angle, only partly above the mud, and dark weed clung to it like sparse hair. Like hair. His eyes stared, white-rimmed. For the stump was moving... Slowly, slowly, and his feet were trapped.

“It was a September evening…the day had been a dreary one and a dense drizzly fog lay low upon the great city. Mud colored clouds drooped sadly over the muddy streets. The yellow glare from the shop windows threw a murky shifting radiance…” Sign of the Four - AC Doyle

Be it thy course to busy giddy minds
With foreign quarrels, that action, hence borne out,
May waste the memory of the former days

“She longs for tonight, she longs to skip the day that’s just begun and plunge headlong into the night as if into a pool; a pool with the moon reflected in it. She longs to swim in liquid moonlight” Margaret Atwood from the speculative world of MaddAddam
