I am a cancer cell.

Of my earliest ancestry no evidence remains.

When the earth’s first creatures stirred the

ancient seas, when the Pharaohs wrought

the pyramids, when the medieval scribes

laboriously recorded their philosophies, I was

there. The ingenious Virchow, who recognized

my stamp, marshaled the forces of science

against me. Malicious, relentless, insidious I

am, full of destruction, ripe for carnage, yet in

my enduring frame I carry the secret of life.

Study me, and you will bring into the light of

day precious urns of wisdom long buried in

the tomb of ignorance. For you I shall tell a

wondrous tale of the beginning of things that

are and are to be. Study me, know me, and

you will hold the world in fief. Neglect me, and

as surely as the fingers of the dawn grasp first

the temples of the East, I will strike you dead.
