What is the other text, the original? I have no answer. I suppose it is the source, the deep sea where ideas swim, and one catches them in nets of words and swings them shining into the boat ... where in this metaphor they die and get canned and eaten in sandwiches.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
“It was a gift that he possessed alone:
To look the world directly in the face;
The face he did not see to be his own.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
