Summary
FOREWORD to
The Illustrated Concordance of Marielda, Second Printing
No chronology will be observed here, nor could one ever be observed—Marielda resists sequential arrangement. Where other atlases and dictionaries seek to duplicate the facts of a culture, treat this text instead as a replica of Marielda's constant reconfiguration.
Thus, the reader should use this concordance as if they were wandering through a city street on the afternoon of an empty day. Follow the the capricious arcs of the written characters from one entry to the next, like the scent of an unseen cafe in the distance. Or, move from entry to entry with the speed and purpose of a busy hour of errands.
But understand that neither of these methods will bring you to more truth than any other. As with a mirror, you will get out of this text only as much as you put into it.
But if I may make one recommendation: Begin with the entry on dreams. Though there may be no worse place to begin than the reveries of those poor citizens, there is neither any better.
-Semiotician Emeritus Uklan Tel, Ed.

| 0:17.5 | because I feel like that I felt like that for more years than you know and when we feel like that we |
| 0:25.0 | we rush for cover. |
| 0:26.0 | It's like an involuntary defense. |
| 0:29.0 | Who or what can we blame for this? Maybe we blame something immaterial, sin, evil, |
| 0:40.0 | the machinations of things greater than us. |
| 0:43.6 | And we seek salvation, action, in prayer, in holy violence. |
| 0:49.9 | Is that what you were looking for, Hadry? |
| 0:52.4 | When you killed that man, Jericho? |
| 0:55.8 | Or maybe, like a fiddler on a bad night, |
| 0:59.6 | we blame the instrument. |
| 1:01.7 | You know something about that, huh Hell it does too. How much you blamed on that blade? That blade in the dark. You think that's what led you to kill Angela? Calhoun, the son of my kin remember you think I missed that ain't a damn thing I don't know about remember |
| 1:19.9 | well maybe like a dare you blame others that farmer who didn't pull his weight the church that demanded ties but did not shepherd its people the village that turned on your family. Or like me on my bad days you blame your family itself. |
| 1:38.0 | It's so easy for me to do to wonder if this cancer began when I raised some up from shadow to light, if when I gave |
| 1:48.2 | that boy flesh, maybe he took something for me in exchange. Oh, the Oh, you're not. |
