Death consists, indeed, in a repeated process of unrobing, or unsheathing.

And beauty immortal awakes from the tomb.
There is a wide, yawning black infinity. In every direction, the extension is endless; the sensation of depth is overwhelming. And the darkness is immortal.

You’re immortal, aren’t you, until you get a little peek over the precipice. The thought of death…You’re not supposed to start pondering it until you’re old. And there’s nothing like being told you’ve got a life-threatening disease to concentrate your mind on that.
The first voyagers to the stars will be creatures whose life cycle is matched to the voyage: the aeons involved in traversing the galaxy are not daunting to immortal beings.

‘Just What I Am’ took me all of 10 minutes to make. ‘Immortal’ maybe took 30 minutes. It’s not hard for me. ‘Indicud’ is almost what my first album should have sounded like, had I really been able to channel all of the ideas I had into music.
