The trees outside have lost their foliage. We fall back on the clocks an hour late. And outside a leaf falls. A falling leaf… What does this really mean? Intent is for eyes. Motive, for fingers. We are the puppets of contingency, the frayed sutures of our divided will. Yes and yes, or no – as each stitch informs the binary code of our discontent. I do not think they will hear my speech to the very end…
–from I, Faust
