One,

or some,

or all

of the aspects

of the paradigm.

“There is a grey thing that lives

                                         in the tree-tops

None know the horror of its sight

Save those who meet

                            death in the wilderness

But one is enabled to see

To see branches move at its passing

To hear at times the wail of black laughter

And to come often upon mystic places

Places where the thing has just been.”
