The Manner in Which

The phenomenon itself fails to satisfy the requirement of one’s own poetic ability translated to English and by its powers of observation, as testified poignantly in this writing.
A desire can take the form of possession.
And possession may be a desire.
But it is important to consider a more general discussion between the theoretical proposition and the analytical approach.

Glue a small mirror to one tiny magnet: what is most choice-worthy for all is always that repetition must not be confused with stagnation. It exists outside itself, so to speak, in the form of an object to which a name is given, the act of tension or extension, in short, of pure mobility.

Clearly, you could do a measurement.
But would it tell you what is |ψ⟩ ?

A cut-up in which each integral part is the reproduction of a scene is by no means all of a piece. Compared to a simple tape-copying Turing machine, to a counterpart of the Schrödinger equation? It represents a set of modified normal equations, whose goals seem more perceptual than social, like a step through a door chosen randomly. To perceive such a simple thing as the straightness of a line that has shape F — gasping, murmuring, whistling like an immense, invisible fan having at most two 0’s — is so negligible as to make it pure voodoo.

Music that resembles behaviour expressive of a particular emotion is posed by bands of irresponsible youths with tape recorders playing back tragic sounds, frogs croaking music across the golf course, projecting cold pictures on the present ones. Nów you understand about time, just pulsing and throwing off spurts of blood in the rising sun. The microtonality of the intervals dilates into macro, until finally a whole reach of sound is within us. Indeed, the twelve-tone system has no zero. It was expedient to consider things in an isolated, fragmentary way, fed with heavenly bread, and fine people for your threshing and washing. Physical reality may come to seem unbearably slow. If the mortar were to be moved against the oncoming of an impetuous wind, four instrumental notes punctuate the coin’s falling. Scenes at fairs, in bars, at construction sites and factories are natural mental processes, not artificial things. An escape — through prayer, medi­tation and contemplation — becomes the machine that makes the art.
