"The truth about the world, he said, is that anything is possible. Had
you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness
it would appear to you for what it is, a hat trick in a medicine show,
a fevered dream, a trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither
analogue nor precedent, an itinerant carnival, a migratory tentshow
whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a muddled field
is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning."


The Judge speaking in "Blood Meridian" by McCarthy

What with all the pattern theme in TR I thought this an
interesting juxtaposition
I quoted something similar beforehand from same book
so I think I have bled "Blood Meridian" a bit too much
