And Now For A Few Words From ... A Great German Philosopher

________________________________________________________________________________________________


Brazil owes its name
to the French word
for charcoal
...  
Combustion is the hidden principle
behind every artifact we create. 

The making of a fish-hook,
manufacture of a china cup,
or production of a television program, 
all depend on the same
process of combustion. 

Like our bodies and like our desires,
the machines we have devised
are possessed of a heart which
is slowly reduced to embers.

The Rings of Saturn
