[Margaret Atwood - Oryx and Crake Chapter 0 lyrics]
For my family
I could perhaps like others
Have astonished you
With strange improbable tales
But I rather chose
To relate plain matter of fact
In the simplest
Manner and style because my principal design
Was to inform you, and not to amuse you
Jonathan Swift, gulliver’s Travels
Was there no safety? No learning by heart of
The ways of the world? No guide, no shelter
But all was miracle and leaping from the
Pinnacle of a tower into the air?
Virginia Woolf, to the Lighthouse
I could perhaps like others
Have astonished you
With strange improbable tales
But I rather chose
To relate plain matter of fact
In the simplest
Manner and style because my principal design
Was to inform you, and not to amuse you
Jonathan Swift, gulliver’s Travels
Was there no safety? No learning by heart of
The ways of the world? No guide, no shelter
But all was miracle and leaping from the
Pinnacle of a tower into the air?
Virginia Woolf, to the Lighthouse
