If Murk Devour ...

This was a Solstice/Christmas-themed episode. Aired December 24, 2008

"If murk devour,
and none weave again in gossamer:
These rays were ours,
We made and unmade them. Not the shudder of continents
doused us, the moon's passion, nor crash of comets.
In the fathomless heat of our dwarfdom, our dream's combustion,
We contrived the power, the blast that snuffed us."
- Earle Birney, Vancouver Lights
