XIII

"I must, before I die,
find some way to say
the essential thing that is in me,
that I have never said yet
- a thing that is not love or hate
or pity or scorn,
but the very breath of life,
fierce and coming from far away,
bringing into human life the vastness
and the fearful passionless force
of non-human things".

[Colin Wilson, The Mind Parasites]
