“On a pattern like this, by daylight, there is a lack of sequence, a defiance of law, that is a constant irritant
to a normal mind.
The color is hideous enough, and unreliable enough, and infuriating enough, but the pattern is torturing.

and there you are. It slaps you in the face, knocks you down, and tramples upon you. It is like a bad dream.”
