The Arthurian Knights… Swore allegiance to the feminine soul… And promised to protect it from all danger of attack… But even they were corrupted… And the Arthurian adventure… Ended in failure… It was the last hurrah… Of the Celtic Folk Soul… Until the Celtic revival at the turn of the Twentieth Century… Which was led by Yeats… And Gregory… In his later years… Yeats abandoned the romances of his youth… And turned to politics… Which is another corruption… Of sorts… And soon after… The world went to war… The Other World… That the Old Tales talk of… Is real… But it lies all around us.

Harry never grew up… The world grew up around him… That’s all… Corruption to start the war… And to end the war… More corruption… Was there, then, really any point to the conflicts… None whatsoever… Except that poor people died… And rich people made money… War is a rich man’s trick… And if the official statistics… From the States… Can be believed… So is health… Excess mortality up eighty-one percent… In Millennials… That’s fifty-eight thousand dead… From the Jib-Jab… In six months… More or less equal… To the death toll… From the Vietnam War… Which lasted… Ten years!

Now, do you see?… Of course not… You have to be looking… And listening… To see… Think of it this way… If there were such things… As alien entities… And they did in some way… Manage to infiltrate… Human affairs… With the express aim of… Wiping humanity… Off the face of the earth… Then, that process… Would look very much like this… The worrying thing for Tripitaka… And for Monkey… Is that the Water Dragon… Who transformed itself… Into a white horse… To carry Tripitaka… On his quest for the Sacred Scrolls… Was in fact behaving… In exactly the same way as the alien entity… In The Thing.
