Story Tattoos - From Die Puny Humans

This is really somehow interesting to me. I often say that I'm too changeable to ever get a tattoo; but this idea fascinates me. If I was to get a tattoo, it'd be something incredibly odd, like this.

Thesis Research Findings

From Suzanne Keen's Victorian Renovations of the Novel: Narrative Annexes and the Boundaries of Representation (a critical work that is the most readable and interesting critical work I've ever stumbled across, giving me a valuable book about George MacDonald in the footnotes), comes this marvelous sentence:

"As the spaces represented by narrative annexes differ from one another, so their modes include dream, delirium, travelogue, confession, melodrama, and eyewitness reportage."

My first thought: hey, travelouge isn't one of the Endless.
My second thought: Melodrama most often is.
