The Book of the Damned

I
think
of
Genesistrine
in
terms
of
biologic
mechanics:
not
that
somewhere
there
are
persons
who
collect
bugs
in
or
about
the
last
of
January
and
frogs
in
July
and
August,
and
bombard
this
earth,
any
more
than
do
persons
go
through
northern
regions,
catching
and
collecting
birds,
every
autumn,
then
casting
them
southward.
But
atavistic,
or
vestigial,
geotropism
in
Genesistrine--or
a
million
larvae
start
crawling,
and
a
million
little
frogs
start
hopping--knowing
no
more
what
it's
all
about
than
we
do
when
we
crawl
to
work
in
the
morning
and
hop
away
at
night.
I
should
say,
myself,
that
Genesistrine
is
a
region
in
the
Super-Sargasso
Sea,
and
that
parts
of
the
Super-Sargasso
Sea
have
rhythms
of
susceptibility
to
this
earth's
attraction.

I
accept
that,
when
there
are
storms,
the
damnedest
of
excluded,
excommunicated
things--things
that
are
leprous
to
the
faithful--are
brought
down--from
the
Super-Sargasso
Sea--or
from
what
for
convenience
we
call
the
Super-Sargasso
Sea--which
by
no
means
has
been
taken
into
full
acceptance
yet.
That
things
are
brought
down
by
storms,
just
as,
from
the
depths
of
the
sea
things
are
brought
up
by
storms.
To
be
sure
it
is
orthodoxy
that
storms
have
little,
if
any,
effect
below
the
waves
of
the
ocean--but--of
course--only
to
have
an
opinion
is
to
be
ignorant
of,
or
to
disregard
a
contradiction,
or
something
else
that
modifies
an
opinion
out
of
distinguishability.
Symons'
Meteorological
Magazine,
47-180:
That,
along
the
coast
of
New
Zealand,
in
regions
not
subject
to
submarine
volcanic
action,
deep-sea
fishes
are
often
brought
up
by
storms.
