Birth

In consideration of the day and hour of my birth, it was declared by the nurse, and by some sage women in the neighbourhood who had taken a lively interest in me several months before there was any possibility of our becoming personally acquainted, first, that I was destined to be unlucky in life; and secondly, that I was privileged to see ghosts and spirits; both these gifts inevitably attaching, as they believed, to all unlucky infants of either gender, born towards the small hours on a Friday night.

Castor and Pollux were born from an egg.

Pallas came out of a skull.

Galatea was once a block of stone.

Peresilis, in the 10th century, said that he arose from the ground where a priest had spilled holy water.

Arimaxus, from a fissure in the earth caused by a bolt of lightning.

Leucomedom was the son of a cavern on Mt Etna.

I myself have seen a man come out of a wine cellar.

birth-
i sure don't remember it
if I were experiencing coming down a shute, with red mango flesh sqeezing around my head. i still don't think I'd realize it. It was pretty dark in there I suppose and when you reach the light at the end of the tunnel you're so damn cold and wet you don't care what's going on. It feels like needing a fix, it's like Ewan McGregor coming out of the worst toilet in Ireland.
death-spontaneous oblivion, romantic.
or you get cancer and have to wait and plan and suffer.
which is as simple as that.
