As a young designer explained to me bluntly: Everyone upstairs is dumb, referring to the floor above the engineering lair at the 156 University office where customer support, administrators and salespeople sat.

The writing has been on the wall for some years now, but we are a nation illiterate in the language of the wall. The writing just gets bigger.

Knowledge enormous makes a God of me. Names, deeds, gray legends, dire events, rebellions, Majesties, sovran voices, agonies, Creations and destroyings, all at once Pour into the wide hollows of my brain, And deify me, as if some blithe wine Or bright elixir peerless I had drunk, And so become immortal.
John Keats

Neil Gaiman
Image
Here may I live what life I please, Married and buried out of sight, - Married to pleasure and buried to pain, - Hidden away amongst scenes like these, Under the fans of the chestnut trees Living my child-life over again, With the further hope of a fallen delight, Blithe as the birds and wise as the bees.
