"Short Talk on The Total Collection."
"From childhood, he dreamed of being
able to keep with him all the objects in the world, lined up
on his shelves and bookcases.
He denied lack, oblivion, or even
the likelihood of a missing piece.
Order streamed from Noah in blue triangles,
and as the pure fury of his classifications
rose around him, engulfing his life,
they came to be called waves by others,
who drowned, a world of them."
