'Nature may have her own mysterious purposes, or she may not; in any case our role is bound to be, in a dramatic sense, that of the fly upon the wheel; or to use a more organic metaphor, that of the lice in the hide of the rhinoceros.'
from Confessions by John Cowper Powys (Chapter IV), in Confessions of Two Brothers by John Cowper Powys and Llewelyn Powys
