Summary
Nobody does know if they will find their proverbial whale on the coast, for them a-waiting, open ribcage cornucopia overflowed with the fruit of connaissance. He is not sure himself that he believes in the possibility of sticking his head there below whitebone arcs so as to pluck that shiny pearl of acumen, round as an eye and twice as small.
He will learn quick enough that when nature plays tricks, there is little man can do but kneel.
[On strange events observed at a remote fishing hamlet, 1859]

(In which a spiral unravels, and the centre will not hold.)

Bookmarker's Notes
The single most diabolical thing anyone has ever written for me. This is beautiful. Lumacchio being a fucked-up mathematical concept is very dear to me.
