In the beginning there was Nothingness; it could not be seen for lack of people to see it, and it could not be understood for the same reason. It was blacker than black, and all at the same time whiter than white, although some say it had no color at all. Then all at once there was Everything, and supposedly Nothingness was no more, but it did, in fact, remain – only in the deepest and most secret crevices of the newborn world. For many years it was hidden from the people. Alas, it has been touched. And the infection spreads yet.
