Crystal Hill

“To sit in solemn silence on a dull, dark dock
in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock
awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock
from a cheap and chippy chopper on a big, black block.”
― W.S. Gilbert, The Mikado

“Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.”
― W.S. Gilbert, The Mikado

“Q. Star Wars or Star Trek? A. Doctor Who.”
― Andy Weir, The Martian

“Wafted by a favouring gale
As one sometimes is in trances,
To a height that few can scale,
Save by long and weary dances”
― W.S. Gilbert, The Mikado
