  Meditations

  

  “They don’t understand
  what it is to be awake,
  To be living
  on several planes at once

  Though one cannot speak
  with several voices at once.”

  – T. S. Eliot,
  The Family Reunion

  “Multispeech is
  a mode of communication…
  which facilitates
  direct idea transference
  at high speed
  and with
  ‘multiple channels’
  like a kind of
   multidimensional speech -
  described
  in contrast to
  normal language
  which is, of course, strictly
  linear and
  one-dimensional.”

  “Examples are the
  stained-glass windows
  of knowledge.”

  – Vladimir Nabokov
