I know I'll enjoy that. One thing I (hesitantly) suggest for anyone who might be interested (obviously I'm thinking of Stephen's comment) is setting up a Parmenides Google News Alert. Funny things sometimes wash up on that shore. I believe you captured the mood of the Kirchner paintings extremely well. I can't tell you how much I admire and appreciate that.Curtis Robertsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-41680165319903346532010-06-19T07:50:08.723-07:002010-06-19T07:50:08.723-07:00Tom,

Things in Heidegger's Parmenides resonate with this, as for instance (possibly) here -- "The light . . . first bestows the possibility of the look and therewith the possibility of the encountering look as well as the grasping look. Looking is an act of seeing. Seeing is a power of the eye. . . ."STEPHEN RATCLIFFEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12339481653546188412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-73279714984194923412010-06-19T05:51:30.848-07:002010-06-19T05:51:30.848-07:00Sorry if this one seemed a bit of a nonsequitur.
