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.

W.G. SEBALD
