.. It's in words that the magic is -- Abracadabra, Open Sesame, and the rest -- but the magic words in one story aren't magical in the next. The real magic is to understand which words work, and when, and for what; the trick is to learn the trick. ...

It's as if - as if the key to the treasure is the treasure! ------- John Barth, Chimera
