“This is what I call ‘it’.
It can be seen only in the morning when air
has spread thin
in order to cover everything
— leaving the possibility
that in afternoon there is a vulnerable spot
somewhere
which has not been covered.”

“This heightened perception is, of course, an aspect of the definition of art and commands a focus on the singularity of the object to such a degree that everything seems at once marvelous, strange, familiar and unexpected. No category can exhaust such an object; it saturates the perceiving subject.”

“Two competing desiderata tug at either side of the software developer. On the one hand, we want software to do everything, and our definition of ‘everything’ grows broader every year.”

“The tension between appearance and reality melts away and both merge in one rather pleasant feeling.

“Position is where you
put it, where it is,
did you, for example, that
large tank there, silvered,
with the white church along-
side, lift
all that, to what
purpose? How
heavy the slow
world is with
everything put
in place. Some
man walks by, a
car beside him on
the dropped
road, a leaf of
yellow color is
going to
fall.”

“Yet fire cannot burn itself; it cannot exist in self-enclosure. Fire can burn everything that can be burned, but the one thing fire cannot burn is fire. For fire to be fire it must extend out of the enclosure of flame into the surrounding field, and only when its roots travel into its surround can it burn.”
