| Start of a creepy, 100-letter quotation from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, which snakes around this grotesque, asymmetrical diagram, changing direction only when it hits a black square. And the spot along the path where the, um, "thing" catches up with the traveler is marked by a single, fateful X (which is not part of the quote). Just continue right past the X as if nothing happened. Whistling is optional. Happy Halloween! |
