I might set at the window in that tower there my chest covered in diamonds, and gaze over the hills, remembering my lost love. A romantic picture, but utterly stupid. I should be bored after an hour.
Laura Purcell, The Corset

Brian Ruckley
I rather fancy, if you will forgive me an aphorism, that we live in not the Age of Reason, as so many proclaim, but in that of Ignorance; for there is nothing reason so readily proclaims to the attentive mind as the extent of our ignorance. It transforms what were once mysteries, for ever inaccessible to human comprehension, into merely phenomena we have not yet explained, and thereby at once increases what we know and what we do not.
Brian Ruckley, The Edinburgh Dead
