In its own seeming, plainly visible,
Yet not too closely the double of our lives,
Intenser than any actual life could be....”

There is no labour, nor no shame in this;
This hath pleasd, doth please, and long will please; never
Can this decay, but is beginning ever.”
—Petronius Arbiter (d.A.D. 66)
“However closely people are attached to one another, their mutual horizon nonetheless includes all four compass directions, and now and again they notice it.”
