I saw eternity the other night,
A ring of pure and endless light.

-Madeleine L'Engle

Nicholas Was...

older than sin, and his beard could grow no whiter. He wanted to die.
The dwarfish natives of the Arctic caverns did not speak his language,
but conversed in their own, twittering tongue, conducted incomprehensible
rituals, when they were not actually working in the factories.
Once every year they forced him, sobbing and protesting, into Endless Night.
During the journey he would stand near every child in the world, leave one of
the dwarves' invisible gifts by its bedside. The children slept, frozen into time.
He envied Prometheus and Loki, Sisyphus and Judas. His punishment was harsher.
Ho.
Ho.
Ho.

-Neil Gaiman

And when you gaze long into an abyss,
the abyss gazes also into you.
