Abstract
[First two paragraphs]
The Russian language was the language of the Writer’s heart, English was the language of his mind, while French appealed to his ear. I was guided by this when I worked on the montage below.
When we concentrate on a material object, whatever its situation, very act of attention may lead to our involuntarily sinking into the history of that object. Novices must learn to skim over matter if they want matter to stay at the exact level of the moment. Transparent things, through which the past shines!
