Nature & Animals Quote by Kit Williams

Williams writes like a magician explaining the trick without ruining it. The sentence pretends to be a calm bit of observation, but it’s really an instruction manual for obsession: look closely, and the world turns into a puzzle that won’t stop solving itself. “Interconnected” and “symbolic” are bait words, nudging the reader toward the paranoid pleasure of pattern-recognition. Once you accept the premise that everything links, you’re already inside the maze.

The image he lands on - a dog chasing a rabbit inside a “never-ending circle” - is both playful and bleak. It’s children’s-book motion with existential consequences. The dog can run forever; the rabbit can remain forever just out of reach. That’s the subtext: the quest is engineered to continue. Williams, best known for the treasure-hunt mythology of Masquerade, understands that the real payoff isn’t the object at the end; it’s the sustained itch of almost. He’s describing the psychology of puzzles, fandoms, and even consumer desire: the system keeps you moving because arrival would collapse the game.

“Simply impossible” is the slyest phrase here. It sounds like reassurance, but it’s a provocation. If it’s impossible, why keep looking? Because impossibility confers meaning. The circle becomes a closed circuit of attention: the reader’s gaze powers the chase. In that sense, Williams isn’t lamenting futility so much as selling a kind of enchanted futility - the promise that if you stare hard enough, the pattern will stare back.
