" It's dark here, as many have remarked. 'Dark Death', they used to say. 'The gloomy halls of Hades', and so forth. Well, yes, it is dark, but there are advantages--for instance, if you see someone you'd rather not speak to you can always pretend you haven't recognized them."

Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad
