_JEAN PAUL FRIEDRICH RICHTER_
TRANSLATED BY
CHARLES T. BROOKS
"The Earth is the _cul-de-sac_ in the great city of God,--the
camera obscura full of inverted and contracted images from a fairer
world,--the coast of God's creation,--a vaporous halo around a better
sun,--the numerator to a still invisible denominator,--in fact, it is
almost nothing at all."
