about

 "In death, she becomes the patron saint of ruinous randomness. She's just the sort of saint you'd dream up if you believed, as Gorey did, that 'life is intrinsically, well, boring and dangerous at the same time. At any given moment the floor may open up. Of course, it almost never does; that's what makes it so boring.'" -- Born to Be Posthumous: The Eccentric Life and Mysterious Genius of Edward Gorey by Mark Dery
