[ "Refuse" ]
1: to decline to accept; reject
* e.g., ... I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allen Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood-movie ectoplasms. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fibre and liquids, and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me. When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves, or figments of their imagination, indeed, everything and anything except me.
-Ellison, Ralph Waldo

The vital accessories to my work are my reference books, such as the complete Shakespeare and a prayer book, and a large refuse bin.
