A Sad Faint Song of Praise

“In other words, you cannot observe a wave without bearing in mind the complex features that concur in shaping it, and the equally complex ones that the wave itself originates.”


- Italo Calvino, Mr. Palomar, 4

“Not overbearing or exceptionally loud, but he’s got what it takes to stand out in a crowd.”


- F. Gomer
