the music and the mood of
my own movement on a sphere
made it seem I saw the
roundness itself, the presence
of a chain of worlds simultaneous
on a single surface; but
such impressions fade and
the eyes position (in some room,
a home a city) assert their
formal limit on conception.
a trip is
world after world
until one smooth
surface
is worn for a day,
the mind
global, a sphere
despite what
is seen; but then
lingering
long enough the
movement of
the sun establishes
horizons,
the whole trip lasts
as world
only like the
after-effects of
a movie:
for an hour, a day
