You Won't Miss It, Unless You Don't Look Up.

It was all scale-to-fit.

Miniature roads and villages and people and planes. A landscape of the long world.

In some spots, clouds moved over buildings of various heights. Real running water slow-pumped through plasticine tubes like blood and arteries while live traffic made little honks at each other over artificial streets.

It was everything it should be, but small.

And it hung from the ceiling to give her a sense of a god.

If Cats Go Sly, Page 39.

Adam's task in the Garden had been to invent language.

In that state of innocence, his words had revealed the essences of things. A thing and its name were interchangeable. After the fall, this was no longer true. Names became detached from things. Language had been severed from God.

The story, therefore, records not only the fall of man, but the fall of language.
