Then maybe you are inside, safe, rather than outside
lost...? Our boys, trembling, in the presence of this
Dantean, Kantean, Ice man are not all that more sure
of themselves than Oedipa, terrified of confronting
change "at last for what it was" which these ghosters
seem to incarnate:

    Their entire lives are engulf'd unceasingly
    in change. They never come to rest. They
    never know an Instant of Tranquility. One
    wonders what must their idea of Death be..

How can one answer that question except metaphorically?
