‘TO THE STATES’
by Walt Whitman (1819 - 1892)
To the States or any one of them, or any city of the States, Resist much, obey little, Once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved, Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth, ever after- ward resumes its liberty.
MOORE: So, I quit [my job] and I did practically nothing for a year. But I was convinced I was doing something. I was starting all of these gigantic space operas that I was going to sort of sell to 2000 AD; I was going to write them and draw them. And, like, I think about six months later, I’d got one page half-pencilled, some inks, and I just thought, ‘Why am I doing this?’ And, actually, I realised it was because I was never going to finish. LEE: Right, you’d set yourself an impossible task. MOORE: Yeah, so I would never have to be judged.
— Alan Moore, interviewed by Stewart Lee, Chain Reaction, Series 1, Episode 5, BBC Radio 4, January 2005
He must, if one day call’d upon, produce an overhead of a World that never was, in truth-like detail, one he’d begun in silence to contrive,— a Map entirely within his mind, of a World he could escape to, if he had to. If he had to, he would enter it entirely but never get lost, for he would have this Map, and in it, spread below, would lie ev’rything,— Mountain of Glass, Sea of Sand, miraculous Springs, Volcanoes, Sacred Cities, mile-deep Chasm, Serpent’s Cave, endless Prairie....another Chapbook-Fancy with each Deviation and Dip of the Needle.
— Thomas Pynchon, Mason & Dixon, 1997, London: Vintage, 1998, p. 242

‘INTO MY HEART AN AIR THAT KILLS’
by A. E. Housman (1859 - 1936)
Into my heart an air that kills From yon far country blows: What are those blue remembered hills, What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain, The happy highways where I went And cannot come again.
The internet you grew up on isn't dying. A commercial veneer glued on top of it is. A visual essay about what actually persists.
Some things need to become enormous to survive. Other things survive because they never needed to become enormous.
[...] the River ceasing to reflect, as it began to absorb, the last light of the Day.
— Thomas Pynchon, Mason & Dixon, 1997, London: Vintage, 1998, p. 193
