I have awakened to a pineal-headache; self-consciousness does such things, such awful merciless things; Hegel’s smithy, where metals are pounded into oddities, a retinue of alchemy and hammering, a cooper’s barrelhouse of awls and bungs. Perhaps a tincture of quinine and Quaalude will slake the pining, a panacea for consciousness, alchemy and faulty representations.

< applause applause applause drum riff... go to commercial>
...and you know, it's a little known secret that these were also the rejected names of what the band Led Zepplin was considering calling itself. [But I don't really want to be starting rumours.] You didn't hear it from me, in other words.
John, you are the Great Iron(y)er.
Thanks,
