Helix optera is dug out of the earth where he has been peacefully enjoying his summer sleep, cracked like an egg, and eaten raw, presumably alive. Or boiled in oil. Or roasted in the hot ashes of a wood fire.... If God is a snail, Boschs depictions of Hell are going to look like a vicarage tea-party.”
—Angela Carter (19401992)
