    “So in peace our tasks we ply,
    Pangur Ban, my cat, and I;

    I have mine and he has his.”

    “The struggle of literature is in fact a struggle to escape from the confines of language; it stretches out from the utmost limits of what can be said; what stirs literature is the call and attraction of what is not in the dictionary.”
    —Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
