GALEN
Like the cathedral arches of the brain's blood vessels,
the great vein of Galen is seen dark blue and glittering.
Why I ever wished to be a neuro-surgeon is now
beyond me. I do not remember a thing, yet
here I am, stalking internal cerebral veins.
-
My own, very private, view of the brain stays with
me always, and I take it home each day : a very private
view, clearer, sharper, and more brilliant than the
world outside. Others will never understand that -
and it is made all the more intense and mysterious
by my own anxiety. Do you know?
-
Do you know? Does anyone know? Can they?
