November has always struck me as distinctly blue. 'Blue pencils, blue noses, blue movies, laws, blue legs and stockings, the language of birds, bees, and flowers as sung by longshoremen, that lead-like look the skin has when affected by cold, contusion, sickness, fear...'

Pair this one with some Nick Drake if you, too, revel in autumnal melancholy.

The Demolished Man | Alfred Bester
post image

In the endless universe there has been nothing new, nothing different. What has appeared exceptional to the minute mind of man has been inevitable to the infinite Eye of God. This strange second in a life, that unusual event, those remarkable coincidences of environment, opportunity, and encounter...all of them have been reproduced over and over on the planet of a sun whose galaxy revolves once in 200 million years and has revolved 9 times already

I kept thinking of Albert Camus, with not quite such sympathy as usual, and without coming to any conclusion, either.
