Jack bilbo artist6/5/2023 The independent adult eye is secluded in itself, imprisoned by sight because of this consciousness of the far away. The more things are identified by constant touching, the more the sight of their relation to their surroundings independent of animation appears bizarre. Now the most plastic of things seem also to be those things whose relation to one another seems most improbable. Growing up is having things further away pointed out to you.
