Equine
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"

Eikons are mischievous little sprites that dwell in lichen. They are studied by Eikonologists, who practice Eikonology.

Actually Eikon seems to be an archaic ( :P ) spelling of Icon, and Eikonology has something to do with the study of metaphor. Something like that, anyway.

Parallel
