“Where is it exactly that you travel to in your head? I should like to have the grid reference, the co-ordinates. If I could, I would burrow deeply into your mind and stay there, inhabiting it completely, forever. I want to man all of the traffic that gets lost up there and guide it so that it all goes the right way. I want to build large roads right through into the deepest crevices of your mind. Wide lanes, so you never get stuck far away for too long. Smooth tarmac and clear signs, all of them leading around and around and then back to me.”
