Impenetrability Revisited
From a New York Times obituary online today —
“He was an absolutely brilliant reader
at taking what seemed to be the knots,
or the impenetrability, or the downright
insanity of a piece of writing, and just
saying, ‘Hey, guys, that’s the point.’”

Four Dots, Six Lines
"There is such a thing as a tesseract."
— Mrs. Whatsit in A Wrinkle in Time (1962)
"Simplify, simplify." — Henry David Thoreau in Walden (1854)

A Jungian on this six-line figure:
“They are the same six lines that exist in the I Ching…. Now observe the square more closely: four of the lines are of equal length, the other two are longer…. For this reason symmetry cannot be statically produced and a dance results.” |
