"Sabalon's fifteen-strong armory of synths includes a proto-mellotron called the Chamberlin that was once owned by the Moody Blues, and he's currently negotiating the purchase of 'the Dr Who mellotron used by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, complete with all their effects from 1962-1972'."

"Apology of Genius

Ostracized as we are with God—
The watchers of the civilized wastes
reverse their signals on our track

Lepers of the moon
all magically diseased
we come among you
innocent
of our luminous sores

unknowing
how perturbing lights
our spirit
on the passion of Man
until you turn on us your smooth fools' faces
like buttocks bared in aboriginal mockeries

We are the sacerdotal clowns
who feed upon the wind and stars
and pulverous pastures of poverty

Our wills are formed
by curious disciplines
beyond your laws

You may give birth to us
or marry us
the chances of your flesh
are not our destiny—

The cuirass of the soul
still shines—
And we are unaware
if you confuse
such brief
corrosion with possession

In the raw caverns of the Increate
we forge the dusk of Chaos
to that imperious jewellery of the Universe
    —the Beautiful—

While to your eyes
    A delicate crop
of criminal mystic immortelles
stands to the censor's scythe."

--Mina Loy via EPC

"Repair is the dream of the broken thing."

"I had never imagined the day when one of my countrymen would not haggle, but these boat people clearly understood that the law of supply and demand was not on their side." --The Sympathizer
