Mysteries? What mysteries?

Nicely read. Collection seems almost entirely random. Wisdom from Khalil Gibran, a bit about the fall of Rome, the history of “The Negro in Virginia”, what sounds like a newspaper clipping about a possibly commonplace disappearance... If you’re hoping to puzzle your mind and test your brain, you won’t get much of that here. Only the last few sections offer a chance to ‘solve the mystery’ and even those are rather unsatisfactory, as the solutions are guessed at. The mystery that haunts me is: why were these bits collected together at all?
