from “the measure of reality“- Alfred Crosby
pg 131.
Crosby quoting J. Huizinga, the Waning of the Middle Ages…
“one of the fundamental traits of the mind of the declining middle ages is the predominance of the sense of sight, a predominance which is closely connected with the atrophy of thought. Thought takes the form of visual images. Really to impress the mind a concept has first to take visible shape.
“Do shades nurture? As I have seen my image twinned and blown in the smoked glass of a blind man’s spectacles I am,I am. ….He rolled his swollen head, drew up his knees….I am a mouse in a grassbole crouching. But I can hear come whicket and swish the clocklike blade of the cradle.
He woke with the undersides of his eyelids inflamed by the high sun’s hammering, looked up to a bland and chinablue sky traversed by lightwires.” -Suttree, pg 80
“There is nothing more frightful than imagination without taste.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
