From childhood I have been afraid
of mummers. It always seemed
an extra shadow
without face or name
had slipped among them...

I haven't got much time to waste
It's time to make my way
I'm not afraid of what I'll face
But I'm afraid to stay. (Lyrics from Jump)

There is shadow under this red rock
(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

 

Thomas Stearns (T. S.) Eliot

 

I had from earliest childhood a sense that there was no skin between me and the world. I saw things other people didn't see. Hands that slipped through the gaps in the air like falling leaves; a jagged outline like a branch but there was no branch and no tree. In bed at night I heard a voice repeating my name in a soft, insistent monotone. Cass. Cass. Cass. My father took me to a doctor, who said I'd grow out of it. I never did, really.
