The narrator pieces together the whole truth and disturbing significance of the information he possesses, illustrating the story's first line: "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity; and it was not meant that we should voyage far."</p> <p><br></p></div> Prohyptikon Publishing Inc. 9781926801056 eng Psychological Fantasy General Fiction
