"Magical words . . . are a prism of the universe; they reflect, decompose, and recombine all its wonders. The sounds imitate colours, the colours merge into harmony. The rhyme, rich or strange, swift or lingering, is inspired by poetic insight, that supreme beauty of art and triumph of genius which discovers in nature all secrets close to the human heart."
—Madame de Staël, Corinne, or Italy (1807), translated by Sylvia Raphael (1998)

Magic Words: A Dictionary
From Our Twitter Outpost
"If David Lynch and Jorge Luis Borges created a book the result would be something very much like the writings of Craig Conley. As with those artists, Craig's work creates truly remarkable and subtle effects. His books are ones to dream with and learn from."
—Lawrence Hass, Ph.D., philosopher & magician
