Therefore we thank Thee for our little light, that is dappled with shadow. We thank Thee who hast moved us to building, to finding, to forming at the ends of our fingers and beams of our eyes. -T.S. Eliot, O Light Invisible

Doomed to Repeat the Past (Kurt Vonnegut)

Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut, Ch. 10
