"But two thousand years hence -
hear me - the sun will stand wrong in Pisces
as you nudge the buds from snow. So
time drifts and slips. It's a fearful thing
to fall into the hands of the living God."
"1890 CE According to an ancient Russian proverb, a woman in a tub is a room within a room. Sponging his wife's pregnant belly, Sergey Malyutin conceives the first matryoshka doll."
