I'm A Man For Whom The Outside

My Hapless Peers With Their Lofty Dreams--how I Envy And Despise Them!

I'm With Those Poor Slobs Who Have No Books To Show, Who Have No Literature Beside Their Own Soul, And Who Are Suffocating To Death Due To The Fact That They Exist Without Having Taken That Mysterious, Transcendental Exam That Makes One Eligible To Live.

It's A Hallucination In The Strict Sense, Being An Illusion Based On Something Only Dimly Seen.
