CLATTER

                                             June 17, 2008


    "It is vain to say that he felt as if he had
    got into a dream; but this time he felt quite
    certain that he had got into a book.  For we
    human beings are used to inappropriate things;
    we are accustomed to the clatter of the
    incogruous; it is a tune to which we can
    go to sleep.  If one appropriate thing happens,
    it wakes us up like the pang of a perfect
    chord."


        "The Strange Crime of John Boulnois"             p.297
        G.K. Chesterton.
