The alchemist automaton, quick with forces, slow in gait and speech. A philosophy can shut its eyes when its garden becomes menacing. The survivor hides his innocence from strangers and his guilt from himself. Doorways, like coffins, reveal the proportions of the always inhuman dead. The receding vistas of technology, where power flows from the vanishing point.
All objects contain great generators, mysterious motions, deep shafts into fire.
A mirror that needs a mirror in which to see itself without seeing death. To lift weights without using one s muscles, to assemble a child from sparks. The tiger of wrath disintegrated by the horseman of instruction. Murder is a product of evolution, its body a product of invention. Reason asleep produces monsters, but only when its logic is left on.
