Worms": A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm. : What dost thou mean by this? : Nothing but to show you how a king may go a progress through the guts of a beggar."

": How many senses do worms have? : They have two: smell and touch. Why? : So, they live without any ability to see or even know about light, right? The notion of light to them is unimaginable. : Yeah. : But we humans, we know that light exists—all around them, right on top of them, they cannot sense it. But with a little mutation, they do. Right? : Correct. : So, Doctor Eye, perhaps some humans, rare humans, have mutated to have another sense—a spirit sense—and can perceive a world that is right on top of us, everywhere, just like the light on these worms."
"I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people."
"The generations of the worm Know not your loads piled on their soil; Their knotted ganglions shall wax firm Till your strong flagstones heave and toil."
"The smallest worm will turn being trodden on."
