i agree with Totalfeckineejit about the bergamot line, wonderful! but i have to admit that the sense of the whole escapes me, i know there are a lot of hidden references here but i am unable to get them :-)
Drifting, drifting...that's the way it looks on the edges of our civilisation. A drifting, a searching, beyond all the known grounds for an other ground.
from Travels in the Drifting Dawn by Kenneth White

Baudelaire
tutto, in natura, ha una essenza lirica, un destino tragico, una esistenza comica.
santayana
