I do not know if it has ever been noted before that one of the main characteristics of life is discreteness. Unless a film of flesh envelopes us, we die.

Visual impressions, reflections of hands in lacquered wood, a diligent bald spot over a fiddle, take over, and soon i am bored beyond measure by the motions of the musicians.
