Considera girl who keeps slipping off, arms limp as old carrots, into the hypnotist's trance, into a spirit worldspeaking with the gift of tongues.She is stuck in the time machine, suddenly two years old sucking her thumb, as inward as a snail, learning to talk again.She's on a voyage.She is swimming further and further back, up like a salmon, struggling into her mother's pocketbook.Little doll child, come here to Papa.Sit on my knee.I have kisses for the back of your neck.A penny for your thoughts, Princess.I will hunt them like an emerald.

A new study on animal calls has found that the patterns of barks, whistles, and clicks from seven different species appear to be more complex than previously thought.
