Summary
Our friendship sir, shall endure till sun and moon shall wane no more, till stars shall set, and victims rise to grace the final sacrifice. We'll be instant, in season, out of season, minister, take care of, cherish, sooth, watch, wait, doubt, refrain, reform, elevate, instruct. All choice spirits however distant are ours, ours theirs; there is a thrill of sympathy - a circulation of mutuality - cognationem inter nos! I am Judith the heroine of the Apocrypha, and you the orator of Ephesus.
Emily Dickinson, February 1850, letter to George H. Gould

Summary
Language was mistake.
Honeybees communicate by dancing. Works for them, lets them figure out where good flowers are. Ants do it with smells, little chemical trails on the ground to get back to food source. There’s a monkey that screams different for leopards than eagles – different sound for different predator.
People, though. People have too many words, too many languages, and Ilya is very, very tired.

Bookmarker's Notes
this is an interesting fic because of how it pulls out the language it is written in; it would be very interesting to see it in russian, also.
of course excellent
