The Book of the Damned
·
Charles Fort

The
preponderance
of
our
data
indicates
frigid
regions
aloft.
Nevertheless
such
phenomena
as
putrefaction
have
occurred
often
enough
to
make
super-tropical
regions,
also,
acceptable.
We
shall
have
one
more
datum
upon
the
Super-Sargasso
Sea.
It
seems
to
me
that,
by
this
time,
our
requirements
of
support
and
reinforcement
and
agreement
have
been
quite
as
rigorous
for
acceptance
as
ever
for
belief:
at
least
for
full
acceptance.
By
virtue
of
mere
acceptance,
we
may,
in
some
later
book,
deny
the
Super-Sargasso
Sea,
and
find
that
our
data
relate
to
some
other
complementary
world
instead--or
the
moon--and
have
abundant
data
for
accepting
that
the
moon
is
not
more
than
twenty
or
thirty
miles
away.
However,
the
Super-Sargasso
Sea
functions
very
well
as
a
nucleus
around
which
to
gather
data
that
oppose
Exclusionism.
That
is
our
main
motive:
to
oppose
Exclusionism.
Or
our
agreement
with
cosmic
processes.
The
climax
of
our
general
expression
upon
the
Super-Sargasso
Sea.
Coincidentally
appears
something
else
that
may
overthrow
it
later.
Notes
and
Queries,
8-12-228:
That
in
the
province
of
Macerata,
Italy
(summer
of
1897?)
an
immense
number
of
small,
blood-colored
clouds
covered
the
sky.
About
an
hour
later
a
storm
broke,
and
myriad
seeds
fell
to
the
ground.
It
is
said
that
they
were
identified
as
products
of
a
tree
found
only
in
Central
Africa
and
the
Antilles.
If--in
terms
of
conventional
reasoning--these
seeds
had
been
high
in
the
air,
they
had
been
in
a
cold
region.
But
it
is
our
acceptance
that
these
seeds
had,
for
a
considerable
time,
been
in
a
warm
region,
and
for
a
time
longer
than
is
attributable
to
suspension
by
wind-power:
