No lovers rowed on the lake, though I could discern wave patterns on the water that resembled very much the wake that little boat had made before. I took them for a complementum. Those things which seem most utterly in apposition are where, as Bohr has said, the work begins. And so I have come to understand that what interests me more than to debunk or ignore traditional forms, is to transubstantiate them. This is nothing new, but nothing is.
History is always a form of invention.
Work took me from England to Geneva. I heard Bohr lecture in Brussels in the early Thirties. He hadn't aged a day. Still the same, slow, methodical, thoughtful, pained sentences he used to mediate impossible abstract paths. Bohr's call for synthesis had born many fruits, and quantum theory was by then an important branch of physics.
