To Kingsley,

the son invincible,

who was there from day one

and manages to still be here, forever

I thought to myself: "If it's true that every person has a star in the sky, mine must be distant, dim, and absurd. Perhaps I've never had a star."

—Sadegh Hedayat, Blind Owl, 1937

*

The bird flew through the air

above the red lights

at the height of oblivion

experiencing the blue moments

madly.

The bird, ah, was only a bird.

—Forugh Farrokhzad, "The Bird Was Only a Bird"

KING: If they were doing that show today, would there be sexual implications of Jeannie and. …

EDEN: Well, I don't think so. Because the funny part about the show was the fact that she thought she was human and she wasn't. And she wanted to marry him. And he knew she wasn't human. So there's your comedy. She's a fish out of water. You can't have anything really happen between the two of them because she's smoke, but she doesn't think so. You know?

KING: And so, she ain't there?

EDEN: No. Yes.

—Barbara Eden on Larry King Live, January 2002

One fateful afternoon, he steals a box from a mysterious traveling haberdasher—a box that contains three pairs of magical eyes.
