 I ride the train to the university most days. I sit up on the second level as we slide through collapsed remnants of forgotten towns, through landscapes still filled with seeing. The interstate has had all the seeing sucked out of it. These places the train secrets itself through are sirens to the eyes, all other senses locked out by the whir of fans and the thick glass windows. The whole topography I rumble past is smooth as glass. Every hill and valley is as flat and cold and transparent as the plain. But today, I drove. I wanted the warmth of the car, the closed-in stillness, the music up as loud as I want, leaning back, my hand resting on my travel mug, picking at the sticker plastered across it with my thumbnail. There is no seeing-out on the long, grey road between my city and my university, but there remains so much seeing-in. |

"As the faithful, in the Dionysian mysteries, invoke the god by miming scenes from his life, I call up the visitation of sleep by imitating the breathing and posture of the sleeper. The god is actually there when the faithful can no longer distinguish themselves from the part they are playing, when their body and their consciousness cease to bring in, as an obstacle, their particular opacity, and when they are totally fused in the myth. There is a moment when sleep 'comes', settling on this imitation of itself which I have been offering to it, and I succeed in becoming what I was trying to be: an unseeing and almost unthinking mass, riveted to a point in space and in the world henceforth only through the anonymous alertness of the senses." — Merleau-Ponty |
