Catastrophe and desire are linked in our lives as the moon is linked to that reflected light from the sun which enables the eye to see it.

The magic will which makes us see the other side of our natures-dream and disaster, catastrophe and fulfillment-is the great permanent challenge of humanity.

The would-bees take their honey from the flowers of creation.
