To communicate with Mars, converse with spirits,
To report the behaviour of the sea monster,
Describe the horoscope, haruspicate or scry,

With playing cards, fiddle with pentagrams
Or barbituric acids, or dissect

Whether on the shores of Asia, or in the Edgware Road.

And clings to that dimension ... — T. S. Eliot

Wise cultivated, genial conversation is the last flower of civilization, and the best result which life has to offer us,
a cup for gods, which has no repentance. Conversation is our account of ourselves. All we have, all we can, all we know, is brought into play, and as the reproduction in finer form, of all our havings. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
