Powerful the ways of my familiar; Powerful the discipline of symbol; Powerful the cast of each peculiar Into structures intricate and nimble. Pulse of knowledge, flow through silver tracing. Pulse of thought, leap from spark and sand. Pulse of mind, this mind built flesh embracing Thrive in reason, speak and understand! Mind, if I do reach that potent prize, Kobold, child, or angel: what will rise? - Stephen P. Schaefer
