"Remember that the writers whom we call eternal or simply good and
who intoxicate us have one very important characteristic in common:
they move you in a certain direction and they summon you there too,
and you feel, not with your mind alone, but with your
whole being, that they have a goal, like the ghost of
Hamlet's father who does not come and trouble the
imagination for nothing."
- Chekhov,
from a letter to Alexey Suvorin, Apr. 8, 1892
summoned to the stock yard
