Literature

Scholars.

Not just the great works of fiction and theatre, no all the leavings of all the other fields went to us. When psychology had enough of freud and cast him off. We took his works. They are ours now. Nietzche is ours now. Gibbon is ours now.

These popular books? They depend for their survival on the fickle hand of the public. But the public only wants what is new. We detest the new.

Thus, when these books wither from public interest, only we can save them. Ha! Like a rat only too late realizing its tail is in the trap, they will look at us with imploring fear and find

Us impassive, hardened to the task.

Our underworld is savage. Our underworld is just.

I feel like you've gotten weird ever since you had to teach humanities to pre-meds.

Rats in a trap. Rats! Rats!
