The Movers, sometimes known as the Metix, known often in less educated and angrier circles as Migs and Zooms; discussed in terms of Mitigants by the Liberal Press and the Swarms by those whom were sucking on silver spoons or their own feet at any given point; fenced in by The Reality, sent back by The Time, allowed to find their own ways by the Dream which served to briefly protract the Demise of the Fourth Union before the stamping feet, banner waving, screaming, red-faced, half-sighted Hordes, supported by the Provincial Privies (who gave some tawdry social credence to the violent, cuntish actions of the HEIL HEIL HEIL mobs) that suffocated the optimism of any person of heart, that turned the stomachs of those who could see how things would transpire if the restrictions continued.

Henri Bergson: Matter and Memory. Chapter 3: Of The Survival of Images. Matter and Mind. We prepare ourselves to receive it [our recollection] by adopting the appropriate attitude. Little by little it comes into view like a condensing cloud; from the virtual state it passes into the actual; and as its outlines become more distinct…
