My mind, I know, I can prove, hovers on hummingbird wings. It hovers and it churns. And when it's operating at full thrust, the churning does not stop. The machines do not rest, the systems rarely cool.

Nothing tormenting is ever lost, never even diminished in color or intensity or quality of sound.
