. . . O glorious little worm, there is a universe in each of your rings of flesh, there is a whole universe in each of your rings of flesh, there is a universe in the way you squirm, there is a universe in the way you burrow into the earth and make healthy soil, there is a whole universe in each of your actions, how can I do anything but eat you, glorious little worm, how can I do anything but take your power into my body . . .
