More of those "drowsy tinklings."
From the forward to the book by G. Vidal:
Presciently, Logan feared the insect world; and its possible analogy to ours. "I hate . . . their cold intelligence; their stereotyped, unremitting industry repels me." Long before the DNA-code was discovered, Logan feared a predetermined universe where "we are forced like the insects and can't help it, to undergo all the metamorphoses preordained for our species." But this laconic master is making me garrulous. Read him; and hear the chimes at midnight. Listen.

I have, and I will continue to do so. ( )
