But there's something about the sensation of ink on paper that is in some sense a thing, a phenomenon rather than an epiphenomenon. I can't break the association of electric trash with the computer screen. Words on the screen give the sense of being just another passing electronic wriggle." »John Updike

So to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead.
