An Instance
of the Fingerpost
"CRUCIAL (from Lat. crux, a cross),
that which has the form of a cross…
From Francis Bacon's expression
instantia crucis (taken, as he says, from
the finger-post or crux at cross-roads)"
"For every kind of vampire,
there is a kind of cross."
— Gravity's Rainbow
Kate Beckinsale, adapted from
poster for Underworld: Evolution
(DVD release date 6/6/6)
There is such a thing
as a tesseract.

words to Peer Gynt, he would say,
'We'll meet at the next crossroads…
and then we'll see–
I won't say more.'"
