“The art of watching has become mere skill at rapid apperception and understanding of continuously changing visual images. The younger generation has acquired this cinematic perception to an amazing degree.”

A chorister whose C preceded the choir.

Surrounded by its choral rings,
Still far away. It was like
A new knowledge of reality.”
