"One draws a magic circle around oneself to keep everything out that doesn't fit one's secret games. Each time life breaks through the circle, the games become puny and ridiculous. So one draws a new circle and builds new defences." from Bergman's Through a Glass Darkly (as quoted by Lars Iyer's blog Spurious)
"Not knowing when the dawn will come
I open every door;
Or has it feathers like a bird,
Or billows like a shore?"
--Emily Dickinson
