“A map?” I says.
“Sure,” he says, “I got a map

Review: ART WARS
on Sept. 12, 2002:
Und was fur ein Bild des Christentums
ist dabei herausgekommen?
(Pentecost was Sunday, June 4, 2006.
The following Monday was formerly a
French public holiday.)
This morning's meditation:
Sous Rature
"… words must be written
sous rature, or 'under erasure.'"
— Deconstruction:
Derrida, Theology,
and John of the Cross
The above Bild, based
on Weyl's Symmetry,
might be titled
Rature sous Rature.

Sermon
Baccalaureate:
A farewell address
in the form of a sermon
delivered to a graduating class.
"Stuff comes up,
weird doors open,
people fall into things."
— David Sedaris,
baccalaureate address
at Princeton yesterday
"The truth is that man's capacity for symbol-mongering in general and language in particular is so intimately part and parcel of his being human, of his perceiving and knowing, of his very consciousness itself, that it is all but impossible for him to focus on the magic prism through which he sees everything else."
— Walker Percy, The Message in the Bottle: How Queer Man Is, How Queer Language Is, and What One Has to Do with the Other. New York: Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 1975, page 29.

Tribute
“Un train peut encacher un autre.“
Modern Times:
From the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, October 2002, p. 563:
“To produce decorations for their weaving, pottery, and other objects, early artists experimented with symmetries and repeating patterns. Later the study of symmetries of patterns led to tilings, group theory, crystallography, finite geometries, and in modern times to security codes and digital picture compactifications. Early artists also explored various methods of representing existing objects and living things. These explorations led to…. [among other things] computer-generated movies (for example, Toy Story).”
— David W. Henderson, Cornell University

John Frankenheimer's film "The Train" —
Und was für ein Bild des Christentums |
From Today in Science History:
Locomotion No. 1
| [On September 27] 1825, the first locomotive to haul a passenger train was operated by George Stephenson's Stockton & Darlington's line in England. The engine "Locomotion No. 1" pulled 34 wagons and 1 solitary coach…. This epic journey was the launchpad for the development of the railways…. |
From Inventors World Magazine:
Some inventions enjoyed no single moment of birth. For the steam engine or the motion-picture, the birth-process was, on close examination, a gradual series of steps. To quote Robert Stevenson: 'The Locomotive is not the invention of one man, but a nation of mechanical engineers.' George Stevenson (no relation) probably built the first decent, workable steam engines… Likewise the motion camera developed into cinema through a line of inventors including Prince, Edison and the Lumière brothers, with others fighting for patents. No consensus exists that one of these was its inventor. The first public display was achieved by the Lumière brothers in Paris.
From my log24.net note of Friday, Sept. 13th:
"Dante compares their dance and song to God’s bride on earth, the Church, when she answers the morning bells to rise from bed and 'woo with matins song her Bridegroom's love.' Some critics consider this passage the most 'spiritually erotic' of all the one hundred cantos of the Comedy."
From my log24.net note of September 12:
Everybody's doin'
a brand new dance now…
