Communication Quote by Conrad Aiken
““Listen!" it said. "We'll tell you the last, the most beautiful and secret story shut your eyes it is a very small story a story that gets smaller and smaller it comes inward instead of opening like a flower it is a flower becoming a seed a little cold seed do you hear? we are leaning closer to you " The hiss was now becoming a roar the whole world was a vast moving screen of snow but even now it said peace, it said remoteness, it said cold, it said sleep.””
