• I opened a book and in I strode.
  Now nobody can find me.
  I've left my chair, my house, my road,
  My town and my world behind me.
  I'm wearing the cloak, I've slipped on the ring,
  I've swallowed the magic potion.
  I've fought with a dragon, dined with a king
  And dived in a bottomless ocean.
  I opened a book and made some friends.
  I shared their tears and laughter
  And followed their road with its bumps and bends
  To the happily ever after.
  I finished my book and out I came.
  The cloak can no longer hide me.
  My chair and my house are just the same,
  But I have a book inside me.

• Bertrand Russell said, 'Electricity is not a thing like St. Paul's Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave.' And it's not 'they' who say, but Walter Benjamin who said, 'Things are only mannequins and even the great world-historical events are only costumes beneath which they exchange glances with nothingness, with the base and the banal.' In September, 1940, Benjamin died under ambiguous circumstances in the French-Spanish border town of Portbou, while attempting to flee the Nazis.
