• To love a swamp, however, is to love what is muted and marginal, what exists in the shadows, what shoulders its way out of mud and scurries along the damp edges of what is most commonly praised.

Nor is it merely a question of building on precedent, of standing on the shoulders of giants, in Newton's famous phrase.
