The sense of how large

the universe is, makes man --


both little and great.


Het besef hoe grootDie Ahnung, wie groß
het heelal is, maakt de mens --das Weltall ist, macht uns so-

zowel klein als groot.wohl klein als auch groß.

Solution: geography (Luigi Pirandello) - 1920
Story "Rimedio: la geografia", referring to Pascal's thought (1657-1662): Par l'espace l'univers me comprend et m'engloutit comme un point; par la pensée je le comprends. (Through space the universe comprehends me and swallows me up like a point; by thought I comprehend the universe.)

The dramatic question
What is
going on with me?
What's happening
in the world around me?

Everything moves
I follow
and think
about what it means
and the images shift

I bend
to the wind
which always blows
There is never any certainty
as to what is going on

between superfluities --
