Epigraphs:
You want something beyond emotion, I think; you want to grasp infinite invention going on in infinite stillness -- perpetual motion and perpetual quiet at the same time. (John Galsworthy, 1934)
I love the dark hours of my being in which my senses drop into the deep ... into the dark interval reconciled -- they stay there trembling. (Rainer Maria Rilke, 1890)
