inter linea

Time is eternity's interlinear, as the islands are the sea's.  We have less time than we knew and that time is buoyant, and cloven, lucent, and missile, and wild.  -Anne Dillard

You can read letters my boy which is more than I can say for your castle contemporaries.  And you can read words. But you must learn to read inter linea, between the lines.  There is nothing written between the lines. Sir.  Something rather like a chuckle mixed with a cough echoed in the cave.  There is always something written between the lines.  But it takes great wisdom to read it. -Jane Yolen
