As the author writes: \"It is neither necessary nor desired, at least on my part, to be very explicit as to why or how creations, or perhaps the opposite, come about. It would be a mechanical dissection, a baking of clay into a form. I therefore humbly declare that I will discard whenever required, retain whenever useful, and abandon whenever necessary. Many years have passed and blown words hither and thither. Time seems to have erased the last remnants of romanticism, never embraced to the fullest, or perhaps not even touched. No, the winds blow from another direction, compelling me to be as I am. Dreaming-yes, but rather broadly, about, or within a vague linguistic jungle. Claims I make none, but rather cross the territory where such are made and violently defended.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLong Ago and Now \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCome then my children: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLet us play within the sandbox of creation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou build the castles and I'll be the sand. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou have forgotten-\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSearching madly in your forms and substances-\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI never left. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd yet you do not know nor see.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--- from \u003cem\u003eMaydust\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42120548384903,"sku":"9781772442533","price":21.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/311957484d3e3021cc7af192a5a9e034.webp?v=1732547945","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/maydust-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
