A solemn pleasure: to imagine, witness, and write

A room in London --

Spirit and vision --

From the Deep South to the Desert South: an epiphyte's confession --

On Kaspar Hauser --

Time and biology: on the threshold of the sacred --

Elephant in the dark --

The gift of Warwick --

Doxology --

A solemn pleasure --

A graven space --

Decomposing articles of faith --

Finding Ashton --

"Still, God helps you"; memories of a Sudanese child slave --

Circle of friends --

On bibliomancy, anthropodermic bibliopegy, and the eating papers; or, Proust's porridge.
