“Whales in mid-ocean, suspended in the waves of the sea great heaven of whales in the waters, old hierarchies. And enormous mother whales lie dreaming suckling their whale-tender young and dreaming with strange whale eyes wide open in the waters of the beginning and the end.”
“If you had all the money and all the time in the world, what would you do?!”
“That's it. Curtains. Off to the races. Treetops. Seashells and balloons.”
