I poured my heart, my very soul, such as it is, into drawing those light fixtures. All that was good in me came onto the page that day, and now that it is all gone, I am left to sit here, a bitter man with nothing but his memories of Austerlitz to give succor on cold nights…

Along the way, the Palomar Observatory is paid homage to, as is its due.
