“We do of course know that you have remained
a Privatgelehrter, as our Teutonic friends say.

room? No, no!”
Dr Stringfellow (The Younger) in
J I M Stewart’s The Guardians

unfinished in themselves or
not yet integrated into structures
where they should ultimately reside.
Being thus by nature migratory,
all will eventually fly hence.
