The Inanimate May Sometimes Assume the Reflection of Their Most Secret Motives
Saturday September 18, 2010
Wherever the living pursue particularly ambiguous activities, the inanimate may sometimes assume the reflection of their most secret motives: and thus our cities are peopled with unrecognized sphinxes which will never stop the passing dreamer and ask him mortal questions unless he first projects his meditation, his absence of mind, toward them.
