JUST AS WE CORRAL BEASTS TO KEEP THEM IN THEIR PLACE FOR OUR USE, AND AS WE SIT ON THE FENCE AND WATCH THEM RUMINATE ALL DAY LONG, WE WONDER HOW THEY CAN STAND TO EAT ALL THE TIME; SO DO THE GODS AND DEMONS CORRAL US INTO HISTORY, AND AS THEY SIT ON THE EDGE, WONDER HOW WE CAN STAND TO THINK ALL DAY LONG?
