Textistence

When I was a very small child I truly believed that my storybooks issued out of the æther, and I was grievously disappointed when I learned they sprang from a human agency. That particular knowledge debased the currency for me, for I had thought texts had an existence of their own. Ever since I have striven to reproduce that innocent faith in the omniscience of the text as a work of nature.

Textistence. A term that I never wrote.
