Jake was close to tears. In that moment he saw the world in its true light, as a place where nothing had ever been any good and nothing of significance done: no art worth a second look, no philosophy of the slightest appositeness, no law but served the state, no history that gave an inkling of how it had been and what had happened.

But year after year our tables get no completeness, and at last we discover that our curve is a parabola, whose arcs will never meet. ↗
