"Build your cities proud and high.  Lay your sewers.  Span your rivers.  Work feverishly.  Sleep; dreamlessly.  Sing madly, like the bulbul.  Underneath, below the deepest foundations, there lives another race of men.  They are dark, somber, passionate.  They muscle into the bowels; of the earth. They wait with a patience which is terrifying. They are the scavengers, the devourers, the avengers.  They emerge when everything topples into dust."

- Henry Miller
