I CAN SEE ALL THE RAINDROPS IN THE STORM AND INDIVIDUALLY TRACE THEIR HISTORY BACK TO THE PRIMORDIAL SEA FROM WHICH ALL SPAWNED, AND WATCH FORWARD TO WHEN EVEN THE STARS THEMSELVES DIE. I DO NOT KNOW THINGS MAN WAS NOT MEANT TO KNOW, I AM THEM. I ENCOMPASS THEM. I AM THE FEELING THAT LURKS BEYOND UNDERSTANDING. I CAN NUMBER THE SECONDS IN ETERNITY AND UNDERSTAND THE POETY OF A BUTTERFLY.
I SHALL WATCH AS THE LAST STAR DIES AND BE THERE WHEN THE FIRST ONE IS BORN.
BE NOT AFRAID FOR THAT WORD FAILS TO ENCOMPASS THE RANGE OF EMOTIONS YOU SHOULD FEEL.
BECAUSE I SEE YOU.
“She'd become a governess. It was one of the few jobs a known lady could do. And she'd taken to it well. She'd sworn that if she did indeed ever find herself dancing on rooftops with chimney sweeps she'd beat herself to death with her own umbrella.”
