To think, then, is to enter into a perilous country, colder of welcome than the polar wastes, darker than a Scottish Sunday,
 where the hand of the unthinker is always raised against you and where the parasites rule.
Dylan Thomas

Notes

Enhanced Reality  Her name was Jenny von Westphalen and I was touched by her erudition and love of Vergil. I tried to imagine how she would look today. I balanced the tone, equalized grays and enhanced contrasts of the old photographs. I also removed scratches and dust from her face and there she is. The face is hers, the clothes are Calvin Klein's. Jenny was my first resurrection followed by the enhanced reality pictures of Anatole France and others, scattered throughout this book.
