There have always been dolls as long as there have been people. In the trash heaps and abandoned temples the dolls pile up; the sea is filling with them.

What causes them?

Or are they gods, causeless, something to talk to when you have to talk, something to throw against the wall?

A doll is a witness who cannot die, with a doll you are never alone.

–  Margaret Atwood, from Selected Poems II: Five Poems For Dolls.
