“Of course, in television's presentation of the "news of the day," we may see the Now...this" mode of discourse in it's boldest and most embarrassing form. For there, we are presented not only with fragmented news but news without context, without consequences, without value, and therefore without essential seriousness; that is to say, news as pure entertainment.”

“Pérha, whose name meant “prayer”, came from the coastlands and spoke in a strange accent. She pronounced Deghóm’s name in her own tongue: ‘Demagóma.’ Deghóm had heard that accent all her life. It was Méri, the common language of the sea-peoples. Their own dialect was simply called Déngi, ‘the tongue.’ The girls said Deghóm sounded like a foreigner, but they loved her none the less for it.
Pérha told the story of Deghóm’s birth solemnly, like a prayer taught to a child. Even amid the song, she heard her milk-mother’s soft voice.

“If there is any period one would desire to be born in, ⎯ is it not the age of Revolution; when
the old and the new stand side by side, and admit of being compared; when the energies of all men are searched by fear and by hope; when the historic glories of the old, can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era? This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.”
