Publisher's Synopsis
Each night a voice embarks upon a solemn declamation.
For nigh upon sleep in his bed, its author succumbs to most singular sensations. His limbs produce the impression of strange and unspeakable length, and prior to the great flood of his dreams he is as mammoth as any invention of their deep abandon. But availing himself of the prodigious vantage, he opens his eyes to extraordinary perceptions of Time, and their profound reverberations upon his understanding of the world before him.
And should you press your ear upon his door, his is the voice declaiming to the dust and candle flame. Each night indeed will he be heard, from his great station in the dark, imploring the minim universes live and burning within...
In the metaphysical exhortation that follows, My Unassuming Fire expounds the effect of scale on temporal perception and the implications of the experience of Time upon conceptions as momentous as omnipotence, evolution, identity, novelty and fate. Dispelling misapprehensions surrounding these institutions, it propounds ultimately the wellspring of all our notions-- suggesting the agency from which even godhead itself can be seen to stem.
