...being of my readings an account, at turns loquacious and taciturn according to the Law of Whim and the Meandering Orbit round the Pestilential Moon of Arbitrarium.
for Anastasia

The things I want for you cannot be learned:
Swallow sun and dance upon the waters—
Swallow moon and skip stars across the sky.
