"Finished chapter 9 about a week ago. A really incredible chapter.
The only way I could finish chapter 10 was being locked in a room for 3 hours with to do but read Ulysses. Can Joyce please lock in on the next chapter." — May 14, 2025 08:32AM

“Whatever became of the moment
when one first knew about death? There must have been one, a moment, in childhood, when it first occurred to you that you don't go on forever. It must have been shattering, stamped into one's memory. And yet I can't remember it. It never occurred to me at all. We must be born with an intuition of mortality. Before we know the word for it, before we know that there are words,out we come, bloodied and squalling...with the knowledge that for all the points of the compass, there's only one direction
and time is its only measure.”
― Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
