": 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."

"The nethermost caverns," wrote the mad Arab, "are not for the fathoming of eyes that see; for their marvels are strange and terrific. Cursed the ground where dead thoughts live new and oddly bodied, and evil the mind that is held by no head. Wisely did Ibn Schacabao say, that happy is the tomb where no wizard hath lain, and happy the town at night whose wizards are all ashes. For it is of old rumour that the soul of the devil-bought hastes not from his charnel clay, but fats and instructs the very worm that gnaws; till out of corruption horrid life springs, and the dull scavengers of earth wax crafty to vex it and swell monstrous to plague it. Great holes secretly are digged where earths pores ought to suffice, and things have learnt to walk that ought to crawl."

": 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."
