    "I am especially interested in the stranger, in the slippage between the abnormal and the unnatural, and in people who deliberately set themselves outside the norm, choose to be abnormal, in order to become unnatural, especially in the case of the magician or sage or shaman, to be unnatural in their conquest of death, who travel, for example, outside the norms of human existence, living outside the world, visiting the land of the dead, living immense life spans, returning themselves from the dead." –Paige DuBois, Out of Athens

    "All visible visibly
    Moving things
    Spin or swing,
    One of the two."--W.H. Auden, "The Runners"
