it was the best of the worst of times.
a season when victorian faerie-paintings were all the rage.

slender maidens gazing with vacuous wonderment
at tiny insect humans dancing and cavorting,

glowing like irradiated mutant survivors
of defense department tests.

“It will turn out . . . that many simple things can be deduced mathematically more rapidly than they can be really understood in a fundamental or simple sense. This is a strange characteristic, and . . . there are circumstances in which mathematics will produce results which no one has really been able to understand in any direct fashion.” – Richard P. Feynman, The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. I (emphasis in original)
