Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

The judge wrote on and then he folded the ledger shut and laid it to one side and

pressed his hands together and passed them down over his nose and mouth and placed

them palm down on his knees.

Whatever exists, he said. Whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists

without my consent.

He looked about at the dark forest in which they were bivouacked. He nodded toward

the specimens he'd collected. These anonymous creatures, he said, may seem little or

nothing in the world. Yet the smallest crumb can devour us. Any smallest thing beneath

yon rock out of men's knowing. Only nature can enslave man and only when the

existence of each last entity is routed out and made to stand naked before him will he

be properly suzerain of the earth.

What's a suzerain?

A keeper. A keeper or overlord.

Why not say keeper then?

Because he is a special kind of keeper. A suzerain rules even where there are other

rulers. His authority countermands local judgements.

Toadvine spat.

The judge placed his hands on the ground. He looked at his inquisitor. This is my

claim, he said. And yet everywhere upon it are pockets of autonomous life. Autonomous.

In order for it to be mine nothing must be permitted to occur upon it save by my

dispensation.

Toadvine sat with his boots crossed before the fire. No man can acquaint himself with

everthing on this earth, he said.

The judge tilted his great head. The man who believes that the secrets of the world are

forever hidden lives in mystery and fear. Superstition will drag him down. The rain will

erode the deeds of his life. But that man who sets himself the task of singling out the

thread of order from the tapestry will by the decision alone have taken charge of the

world and it is only by such taking charge that he will effect a way to dictate the terms

of his own fate.

I dont see what that has to do with catchin birds.

The freedom of birds is an insult to me. I'd have them all in zoos.

That would be a hell of a zoo.

The judge smiled. Yes, he said. Even so.

He's also this guy



And you wouldn't suspect it, but he took out one of the functionally immortal Homonculi with a single knife.

Sredni Vashtar

 I am almost certain that this invention, though at times it seems to pose as a letter or journal entry, has never appeared in common print. Given the bizarre nature of its content, I would surely have known of it before now. Although it is an untitled “statement” of sorts, the opening lines were more than enough to cause me to put everything else aside and seclude myself in a corner of the library stacks for the rest of the afternoon.

 

            So it begins: “In the rooms of houses and beyond their walls—beneath dark waters and across moonlit skies—below earth mound and above mountain peak—in northern leaf and southern flower—inside each star and the voids between them—within blood and bone, through all souls and spirits—among the watchful winds of this and the several worlds—behind the faces of the living and the dead . . .” And there it trails off, a quoted fragment of some more ancient text. But this is certainly not the last we will hear of this all-encompassing refrain!
