"One fine summer day, we roved out to transfix my likeness in light. This accomplished, an anchiornithid alighted on my shoulder, and cried:
'This is a place where radiance and shadows meet. Wouldst thou dare to try transpose them into sound?'
I tried my hand, and here is the precipitate."
-Meladao, Alavida Æonas, p.3049
