That's when the headaches would develop.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-26509512263178575592010-02-02T10:44:20.958-08:002010-02-02T10:44:20.958-08:00What an amazing figure the circle is.

(Usually I work in twos... or ones.) <br /><br />What constitutes a picture is that its elements are related to one another in a determinate way. A picture is a fact (&c.).<br /><br />So says LW in speaking of how a picture is related to reality.<br /><br />"*That* is how a picture is attached to reality; it reaches straight out to it."<br /><br />I am thinking of elements related to one another in an indeterminate way. Reaching straight out through it. <br /><br />And of course this is not even to speak of Sam Cooke. (Don't know much about the science book. Or the French I took, & c.)TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-65110169443336694672010-01-31T09:33:12.228-08:002010-01-31T09:33:12.228-08:00the sandglass may say
