From Chance Acquaintances, by Colette, translated by Patrick Leigh Fermor
IT IS
"It is only since I first encountered human barnacles that molluscs equipped with contractile nerve-cords have filled me with horror. We are far too slow in realising that they, though innocent of personal ill-will, are, in fact, envoys from the nether world, deputised to act as liaison between ourselves and beings with no other means of approach."
