I can't bear that they, and everybody, should think people wicked because they may have chosen to live their own way! - Thomas Hardy

It was then that the ecstasy and the dream began, in which emotion was the matter of the universe, and matter but an adventitious intrusion likely to hinder you from spinning where you wanted to spin.
