Summary
In anatomy class they try to teach you the parts of the human body. The names of each specific bone, the function of the heart and its chambers and why it flutters backward like ripped-off butterfly wings when you're around her. Concepts of action potentials and homeostasis and labeling every damn highway intersection of the brain. The sad pathetic pitiful truth that your teacher doesn't want to hear is this: none of that shit actually matters in the big picture. In the long-term.
It's the skeletal muscle you have to focus on.

Summary
"Such a woman is the infected carrier of the past: before her the structure of our head and jaws ache—we feel that we could eat her, she who is eaten death returning, for only then do we put our face close to the blood on the lips of our forefathers." — Nightwood, Djuna Barnes.
