¶ Motion (2)
Index Entry
Motion:
"In his carelessly accepted
scenic environment…
"He fails to comprehend
the exquisite speeds
at which infinite numbers
of atomic components
course…
"But he cannot see light
Which moves at 500 times
the speed of the fastest moving propeller tip…
"For, though sensing motion only relatively,
and that to limited degree,
man has nevertheless measured
and fixatingly accumulated
first by subconscious storage–
later by records in books–
his constantly re-experienced engagements with motion,
such as the days, tides, and heartbeats, and finally music."
