"It was — and is — very difficult to focus, to navigate
between each sentence and its real-time double,
to find the fuzzy edges where these reflections meet."

"You put the lime in the coconut . . ."

Truth, Beauty, and The Good

Art is magic delivered from
the lie of being truth.
 — Theodor Adorno, Minima moralia,
London, New Left Books, 1974, p. 222
(First published in German in 1951.)

The director, Carol Reed, makes…
 impeccable use of the beauty of black….
— V. B. Daniel on The Third Man 

I see your ironical smile.
— Hans Reichenbach 

Adorno, The Third Man, and Reichenbach
are illustrated below (l. to r.) above the names of
cities with which they are associated.
