This camera really was in front of this real naked lady.

• The preliminaries were out of the way, the creative process was about to begin. The creative process, that mystic life force, that splurge out of which has come the Venus de Milo, the Mona Lisa, the Fantasie Impromptu, the Bayeux tapestries, Romeo and Juliet, the windows of Chartres Cathedral, Paradise Lost - and a pulp murder story by Dan Moody. The process is the same in all; if the results are a little uneven, that doesn't invalidate the basic similarity of origin.

• He aquí, pues, a Septimus Dodge regresando victorioso a la ciudad de Dodge. No coronado de laurel, es cierto, sino envuelto en listas de cosas que ha visto y chupado hasta dejarlas secas. Visto y chupado hasta secarse, ya sabes: Venus de Milo, el Rin o el Coliseo: tragados como tantas almejas, y dejadas las conchas.
