answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason-for
we would know the mind of God." |

| "A man lies in his bed in a room with no doors. He waits, hoping for a
presence, something, anything, to enter. After spending half his life
searching, he still felt as blank as the ceiling at which he stares. He
is alive, but feels absolutely nothing, so is he? When he was six, he
felt that the moon overhead followed him, by nine he had deciphered the
illusion, trading magic for fact. No tradebacks. So this is what it's
like to be an adult. If he only knew now what he knew then." |

particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects
