Two is the Beginning of the End

In today's Awfully Big Blog Adventure I muse on the joys of unconsciousness and compare childhood to a panopticon. Also hidden away in there is a phrase that I think would make the perfect title for an Adele album, should she ever stop using numbers for that purpose. The only prize for spotting it is a glow of satisfaction.

We can't blame von Kleist for that - he killed himself over 200 years ago, after all.

It's not his fault that Pullman likes him, but it is his fault that he wrote something Pullman likes.

Not for a warning sign.

And not for Pullman, whose critical sense is something appalling.
