And you told me I should concentrate,
It was all so strange,
And so surreal,
That a ghost should be so practical.

And my body was bruised and
I was set alight,
But you came over me like some holy rite,
And although I was burning,
You're the only light
Only if for a night — Florence Welch

But maybe that's the whole point I've been attempting to explain to you.
The fact that it's not known
Or seen
Or heard.

Tastes mysterious.
Feels like something completely delirious.

All we can imagine is infinity. — F.K. Preston

I went into the living room and looked down at my mother's torn body and shook my head. It was surreal.

And then the sun comes up and you get to your destination and the ride becomes the thing that is no longer real, because that surreal feeling has vanished and time has become meaningful again. — Matthew Quick
