| Lis: | Transcendence? Is that possible? |
| Lex: | Most certainly, yes. And great people throughout time have been doing it. |
| Linda: | For most people, transcendence is at the point of death. However, many people catch glimpses of it now and then throughout their lives. |
| Ron: | So this Newfields guy – how did he die? |
| Linda: | Does it matter? To me what matters is that a few of his poems still live. |
| Ron: | (frowning) I dunno. I hate it when people preach, and some of these works were pretty preachy. |
| Lex: | If so, the author was preaching to himself. Isn't that the only audience we can be certain of? |
| Tim: | In a strange way, sometimes we become what we write. Writing is a form of time traveling. |
| Linda: | (surprised) Did you hear something odd? |
| Lex: | It may not make sense, but yeah. |
| Lis: | Anyway, relax. Our notions of whether or not things are "sensible" ultimately doesn't matter. |
| Ron: | Yeah, dat almust mucks ahh sense. Normality iz a myth. |
