Timothy Findley in his book Famous last words about the time before the first day of creation:
So this is history as she is never writ, I thought. Some day far in the future, some dread academic, much too careful of his research, looking back through the biased glasses of a dozen other "historians", will set this moment down on paper. And will get it wrong. Because he will not acknowledge that history is made in the electric moment, and its flowering is all in chance. At the heart of everything that shakes the world, there need be nothing more than a casual remark that has been overheard and acted on. There is more in history of impulse than we dare to know. Yes, they will get it wrong. They will write that Wallis created her world in six premeditated days - alone, like Almighty God. And that on the seventh day, she rested, still alone. It was not so.chiefpedro in | TrackBack(0)If what I mean is not yet clear, then think of God Himself created by another being who one day whispered in His ear: "begin".
