Summary
“In spite of sin, the world is still the cast theophany honoured by the religions of antiquity.” – Olivier Clément, The Roots of Christian Mysticism, tr. Theodore Berkeley
“To speak about everything, to say everything, is the act of the silent man.” – Homer, quoted by Maurice Blanchot, The Work of Fire, tr. Charlotte Mandell
.
A chiastic reflection of the 2009 film Valhalla Rising, dir. Nicolas Winding Refn. The return of One-Eye to Suðrland / Cataibh and his awakening within the spiritual culture that orphaned him. An anti-apotheosis; a healing; a zombie story.

Summary
Once an unnoticeable waif, Christine has found herself courted by opera, monsters, and noblemen: which of these she preferred cannot be guessed at. She has been a Lutheran, an atheist, and a pagan; she has acted the meek virgin, the brave savage and the debauched Cleopatra for all of Paris, both onstage and off. Once humiliated for her “corrosive” voice, she charmed the world with a vocal – and moral – flexibility the likes of which have been rarely seen. When clothed in brightest silks and illuminated by the City of Light’s adoration, she ran to the darkness of the catacombs and the evil that they hid; confronted with murder, she demanded only that the perpetrator repent and kiss her humbly. She looked into the abyss and survived.
After a single electrifying season as the world's Prima Donna, Christine sank into insignificance once again; rumours have since abounded about her location, her company, and her character. The full story is presented here.

Summary
"Come on," Tozer said. For a moment John feared that he was going to pat his own knee — like a father with a child, like an errant sailor with a portside doxy. He didn't: he spread his thighs wider. John thought that might be worse.

They were here for the winter - here at the Hudson’s Bay Company outpost that they had crawled to like corpses, sequestered in the safety of the fur-traders’ ramshackle lodgings until the sun saw fit to start rising again and they could haul away for home.
James and Francis venture into uncharted territory.
